Blackberry lovers in some parts of the world like the middle east and some countries in Asia are not really happy from a few days. This is because the concerned countries' governments are planning to ban the Blackberry services in their countries due to security risks. Now, this is a well known fact.

The reason being, Blackberry uses a proprietary encoding technique for all the data transaction happening through its devices. These data are stored in a server located in Canada. The governments have asked Blackberry to cooperate in making the situation better by letting the authorities tap the encoded data and examine. This is necessary due to the increase in terrorism worldwide.

The governments of the concerned countries have warned Blackberry that they would ban its services if the company doesn't agree to this. But Blackberry has said that it can't help the authorities in this because the encoding algorithm used by it is of very high security and even if it wanted, it couldn't hack the system. This, obviously, is not an answer that the governments want.

Recently, Bruce Schneier, a security expert, chief security technology officer for BT said "I could design a good hundred ways to gain access". Officials with Canada's RIM did not respond to a request for comment. Security experts around the world say that attacking the network's most vulnerable points, the Blackberry smartphone itself and the Blackberry server, would be a solution. These points, the two extreme end points for the communication to take place, are supposed to provide would-be hackers access to unscrambled data.

Tyler Shields, who works for the Burlington, Massachusetts based security firm Veracode, released a spyware program earlier this year for attacking Blackberries via the handset. "I wanted to demonstrate that Blackberry handhelds are susceptible to spyware", said Shields. So now, if RIM doesn't nod to the governments, they may hack the networks themselves or ban the company's services completely very soon.
