An insidious piece of software classified by most security vendors as a trojan has been updated to include not just the tapping of voice calls and SMS, but also the bugging of a mobile user's e-mail and tracking of a user's location.
Research in Motion's (RIM) BlackBerry which is popular with corporate users due to its secure management of mobile e-mail is vulnerable to 'legal' spyware that has been classified as a Trojan by several security vendors.
Research in Motion has released a patch for a security flaw in BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which exposed corporate networks to hackers via a maliciously crafted PDF document
RIM has announced a series of updates to the BlackBerry platform, including the ability to edit Microsoft Office documents without the need for a third-party application.
BlackBerry maker Research in Motion is warning businesses to disable the function which allows a BlackBerry to read PDF files until it can issue an update, after a security flaw was found in the company's software.
As the iconic BlackBerry goes from strength to strength in subscriber numbers, so do the threats to the device and the business model.
Discerning thumbs for BlackBerry users are essential to keep away a new threat which can compromise the security of the popular smartphone. Well that's according to Research In Motion's (RIM) Ian Robertson, senior manager of security and research.
My recent rant about ongoing shortcomings in Microsoft's ActiveSync -- generated a variety of responses, ranging from ''sucked in'' to ''tell me about it'', but there was one more complex theme: why not use a BlackBerry instead?
What a week it's been for mobiles.
A government e-mail systems lockdown has kept popular BlackBerry handhelds off-limits at many Australian government departments, but a simple fix has changed that.
Research In Motion, the company behind the BlackBerry personal emailer, has announced the latest version of its server software, aimed at making it easier for IT departments to manage and deploy the company's software and service.
In 2005, Canadian wireless company Research in Motion (RIM) came from relative obscurity to steal a global lead in e-mail equipped mobile devices with its BlackBerry. Could 2008 be the year that BlackBerry falls off its perch?
The actual administration of e-mail -- getting it into your company, filtering it, distributing it, providing mobile access to it, archiving it, backing it up, undeleting it -- can be an extremely time-consuming, bothersome process.
Apple has captivated the general public with the iPhone, but has it convinced the business world to take the plunge?
The iPhone is not compatible with Microsoft Exchange or push e-mail services, like RIM's Blackberry, which could mean users will bypass corporate security safeguards in order to get their hands on the long awaited device.
Even if you've got an older Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphone, push e-mail may just be a download away.
The BlackBerry Pearl is designed with both consumers and business professionals in mind with its blend of multimedia features and reliable access to e-mail.
Shouldered aside by recent entrants into the smartphone and mobile e-mail market, HP sees a tougher focus on business users, enterprise markets and device management as keys to regaining its leadership.
What do you call something that looks like a BlackBerry, acts like a BlackBerry and yet offers a lot more than most BlackBerry devices? Nokia calls it the E61.
Smart phones have been one of the big subjects of 2003. But how close are we to the dream of a single device, great for voice, multimedia and various data apps, one equally at home in a high-powered meeting or down the pub?
