Reason I ask is that the news very often shows HC on her cellphone looking at either texts or emails. Is there such a thing as a secure cellphone that can't be hacked?
I think ether AES256 or even 3DES have not actually been broken, and while the possibility exists,Reason I ask is that the news very often shows HC on her cellphone looking at either texts or emails. Is there such a thing as a secure cellphone that can't be hacked?
Blackberry is probably your best bet, there is a reason why governments still use them.
The only reason government uses those pieces of **** is that Obama wouldn't give up his and learn to use something more secure.
Dutch police hack into 'uncrackable' Blackberry
So on other words to be hacked the phone would have to be stolen and have small team working to crack it, in that time you could probably brick it. And I imagine Blackberry has probably fixed that particular hole, they are not completely secure, no phone is, but Blackberries are more secure than any other brand.Even deleted emails could "largely" be recovered, although police could not hack into the phones from a distance, but had to have them in their hands, the website said, linking to a number of excerpts from what it said were NFI reports.
Maybe you should read the article:

Cellphones can be "hacked", yes, particularly if she downloads a lot of apps for amusement. But what, really, is the point in this thread? Is there some silly implied criticism of Hillary for using a cellphone to conduct her business?
If so, that would be beyond absurd. Government officials need to be able to communicate quickly with just about anyone. Get rid of a cellphone, and then she'd have to use a computer, which could be hacked. Get rid of the computer, and have her only use landline telephone calls. Not only would that be inefficient, but those too could be bugged, or if the other person is untrustworthy they could have someone listening in. And so on.
A criticism of an official simply for using modern means of communication, without more, would be absurd. So I hope that's not what was being implied in the OP...
You INFERRED that.

I cannot imagine why I would infer that someone who has regularly criticized Hillary and I believed done so over the whole email server business might be referring to the same general type of thing when posting about unhackable phones and the fact that HC uses her cellphone.
There's just no reason to bring up HC specifically if the question had nothing to do with her. That's just how language goes.
:shrug:
Maybe I'm weird.

BB all the way
I couldn't care less what others think, I believe it to be the most secure
It is the most secure, but their model sucks. They did fine when their only competition was palmos, now they are barely competing.
If I were the ceo of bb, I would have sold to either google or apple, offering security enhancements as an optional closed source package, while still making full security blackberry os phones. The bb os phones are limited demand, but there is a demand and people need them.
Problem is bb pretty much is dropping making their own phones and is on the verge of dropping bb os, they now want to just make security software, which will work but never meet govt needs since it will be on fully or partially open source platforms, that is unless they adopt windows phone.
actually they have partnered with google and have a new secure Android with a slip out keyboard...it's called the PRIV
it's awesome, super secure but now you can use apps which was the biggest problem with the Q10 and Z30
they are also releasing 3 more or they may have already....they are not as high end as the PRIV but are very affordable
plus I have to say, I don't think their models suck at all I have the Q10, I love it but the screen isn't big enough...the PRIV will meet that need however
the PRIV is androidnot their phone model, their business model. And yeah I know about the android, but the priv sold horribly, one of the biggest reasons was that it was one of the most expensive phones on the market. They will probably pick up sales when they offer mid line android phones.
the PRIV is android
they are a business model...my company has previously used the Q10, the Z30 and we are now deploying PRIVs and they will be our company wide mobiles
due to confidentiality level needed, we have to use the BES
nothing else is as secure
only PRIV problem we are currently experiencing is with some of our charging cubes, other than that...they are remarkably intuitive and secure, and up to date
the three new ones are literally 3 levels of affordable
No I do not mean a model for business I mean their model in which they conduct business. Ie they have run themselves into the ground and near bankruptcy, and are now changing and starting to do what they should have when android and iphone first hit the market.
