Cannot give data of BlackBerry customers: RIM
The company providing BlackBerry services has said that it cannot provide e-mail data of its 100,000 BlackBerry customers to Department of Telecommunication (DOT). RIM (Research in Motion) said that it cann’t comply with Indian agency’s demand as it was simply not possible.
The company said that giving unauthorized access to customers’ data or lowering the encryption level will compromise the safety of online transaction of its customers as it will give easy access to hackers to hack into their data.
Department of Telecommunication (DOT) had asked the company to reduce the encryption level to give access to government agencies to email and other data that is transmitted between BlackBerry users.
