Our company bb's are using the BIS to receive our emails. can they some how trace our PIN's and SMS messages??

I was reading and was only able to find post where they can trace them if you're on a BES, but can't find anything if you're on BIS.

Thanks in Advance.

On BIS it is not possible to my knowledge for your company to trace anything.

BES Yes, BIS No.

thanks guys, i feel better

lol... well they can tell who you send texts to... its called itemized billing!

[Sith_Apprentice]

they cannot generally get a copy of those texts though. carriers usually only let the law enforcement authorities get transcripts

PINs are not texts so they will not be listed on any bills

one reason I love PINS! They are also very quick and are very free!

[Sith_Apprentice]

yeah just a quick burst of data. i wonder if they pulled a detailed history of data usage if that would work, or if RIM keeps those on hand?

from what iu understand about PINs they arent housed anywhere unless you are on BES

i wonder if that is going to present a problem with more and more consumers getting blackberries. it basically gives a free communication tool that not even a phone tap or SMS printout can retrieve. Criminals in theory can use this to communicate and not worry about police intervention, And if they had a BES they could remote wipe a blackberry if its ever lost or confiscated by the police.

I read a story about that already being done about a month ago. It was on Mobsters in Miami using BBs to hide since they were so secure.

[Sith_Apprentice]

double edged sword for RIM i suppose. make them secure enough for government and businesses, but also organized crime

A whole new market!
