Security and confidentiality of other blackBerry Smartphones

Hello world

I've had my blackberry 8900 almost a year now but there is something that really bugs me.

How is it that an early model Samung which can hardly navigate correctly on the web have privacy settings so that the widely acclaimed blackberry "smartphone" can't?

It really becomes a problem with other BB users I know as well. With the advance of technology and the RIM essentially put all your information in the Palm of your hand, they should be more concerned about the privacy of users.

Now my emails come directly to my phone for example, when I used hotmail via my computer, a password is required, however, now that they come directly to BB anyone can view, read or delete my messages.

I have children as well and they love the games that I downloaded on my phone (pacman in particular), but sometimes they leave games and do not know the phone settings to get back in sometimes obviously my applications are removed...

I searched all forums on the internet of course that I can lock my keypad so outgoing calls and I can block my SD card so no one can access my photos or music, but it is also far's life private...

If there is no solutions should it be posted in the appropriate forum if someone can send it on BOARD at least because I searched but could not find an appropriate forum like this hit all BB users.

Thank you

Hi there - indeed, RIM took the approach all or nothing to the safety of the appliance. But look at it this way... There are a ton of personal information on the device, across multiple applications (e-mail, calendar, contacts, memos, etc.)... .creating an app-by-app element or data security configuration for data element would exponentially increase the potential points of penetration (as well as the processing on the device overhead). RIM has elected that they accompany the bulletproof (and low overhead) method instead.

See you soon!

  • Subfolders and Inbox Sync to blackBerry Smartphones

    My mail detaches a Microsoft Exchange Server. In Outlook, I have subfolders in my Inbox. When I sync or reconcilliate only these subfolders that I slipped and fell in the messages (and only those who, after the initial synchronization) are visible. Subfolders containing a rule created in outlook for messages to go directly to those who do not display messages; However, I can see all the subfolders. I'd love to synchronize all messages for all the sub folders and be able to view them. FYI, I have the default setting of 30 days on the phone and all the messages in Outlook are only 3 weeks.

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    I'll guess that you're on Blackberry Enterprise Service (as opposed to OWA via BIS). You may need to work with your BES admins for all this:

    But I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. If you want to show on your BB, messages in these folders that existed already at the time wherever your BB was originally set on BES, who is not quite possible. Some may be able to be made available on your BB, but BB are not only designed as complete a replica of the mailbox... rather, they are designed to help work with the new emails. For some older posts, have your BES admins investigate it thus:

  • Preference system, security and confidentiality, accessibility - not working/empty

    Hello

    All of a sudden my system preference, safety and confidentiality, accessibility access list does not work, it is completely empty/Virgin and I can't use + / either. They do nothing. The + tries to add an app and I can select an app via the dialog box, but the window just shows blank after choosing an app. He never adds anything.

    I reboot several times and turned to cycling as nothing will do. I also zapped the PRAM, still nothing. I also used the Onyx to repair permissions and also checked the disk, everything going perfectly.

    The list never used to be empty, there are several apps listed in there, but they are all gone now. It is completely empty.

    I have problems because the apps that were once, now on the list will not work until I have added to the list, but I can't. I would like to buy yet another application that could control this list, but I don't know of any application that does.

    I hope someone has a solution or an idea of what to do because you have lived the same exact situation.

  • Security and confidentiality in El Capitan

    I use iOS 10.11.2, and I want to open an app I downloaded before I updated. My system used to ask me if I wanted to open it because it has been downloaded from the internet, but now it gives me this message:

    "(l'application) could not be opened because it comes from an unidentified developer." Your security preferences allowing installation of only the applications from the Mac App Store and identified the developers. »

    I tried to change my security settings but when I go in my system preferences and click on 'Security and privacy' he said "Preferences error could not load security & privacy preference pane."

    I also tried to close and reopen the pane of system preferences and restarted my computer.

    I do not change my security preferences before I updated, so I'm 100% sure that this problem was caused by the update.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello.

    1. No, they are not being routed through the BES.  They will make your device through the pine and the NSE that you entered when you set up your BIS account directly.

  • How to separate work and personal e-mail blackBerry smartphones


    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    By default, BES email is made only in posts emails BIS icon/App are placed in their own icons, but they are still contained in the main Messages application. This is how it works by default. It is not redundant - rather, think that Messages like the Tote place, with the BIS independent icons being a filter, traction (from message) to them only messages that relate to them... but if you act on an e-mail (read, delete, etc.) in one, the change will be reflected in the other.

    Your BES Admin can push an E-mail BES icon only to your device. This solution is free, but must be conducted at the level of the BES server and will affect all users on the BES server.

    Or you can get the application to empower BES Inbox. This solution costs (per user), but does not require a change at the server level and affects only a single user.

    Neither solution would do anything on Messages - will continue to contain what it contains today. All they will do is activate an additional icon on your home screen that is a filter for your BES emails only. You can hide or move the Messages icon/app out of the way, but beware - there are more that just the emails that arrive in Messages... it will come a day when you have a new message indicator and only by digging through Messages that you will be able to find this message.

    I hope this helps explain how it all works!

    Good luck!

  • Folders and files HIDDEN in blackBerry Smartphones

    What is the purpose to hide files or folders in your applications or downloads of files? This may seem like a really stupid question, but I would really appreciate a kind of understanding for applications of hidings or downloads. Thank you

    Hello

    This is useful to hide the icons that you don't want to see (for example the icons who have been pushed to your phone by your service provider, but you can not delete).  It may also be useful hide some applications that you don't want others to have easy access to the.  For example, I've hidden the icon BlackBerry Protect to make it even more difficult for a person to find and play with (or accidentally delete).  If I actually need to go into the app, I can simply display it as I need to, she re - hide after.

    The big reason for this is that it is simply more difficult for a person to remove an application on your phone or access to an application on your phone that you don't want to have access to.  And of course, it is certainly useful that you can hide the icons that are driven by your carrier.

    I hope that this is the info you are looking for, but if you wanted to say something, do it know us!

  • Suggestion of security for the Hub of blackBerry Smartphones

    One thing I noticed when reading emails.  The BB10, if you click a hyperlink in an e-mail message, you will show the real link and invite you to go there.

    On the PRIVATE hub, just asking the browser you want, which is extremely dangerous, because it does not say if the link is real or fake.

    If I can see the URL before you choose a browser to open with, I can decide if I really want to go, or if I'm looking at a phishing link, etc.

    It is a small, but VERY important hub improvement which should be done as soon as POSSIBLE in the name of security.

    Love the PRIV and I know it's a work in progress, I hope that we will see some settings important hub soon.

  • Email and messages need help blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello. I'm new in the world of BB and I just go this great gift that I am slowing learning how to use.  I prowled around for awhile and now it's my turn to ask a silly question.

    On my BB Curve 8330, I have a picture of my son on the front screen. I don't know what a theme, but I have 5 icons at the bottom of the screen.

    I'm having a hard time with my "message" folder and my mail folder electronic ***@comcast.net.

    the problem is, my emails are sent to both folders.  my email (the world with the envelope) and message (mailbox) file. I'm just a pain to remove all of the two places.  I read here in one of the forums how you could also do your separate sms/mms, I did. but then I got three folders.  So in my folder of message it shows me, my email and my calls missed.

    Is it possible that I can stop my e-mail to go to both places?

    I need, step by step... I'm not ignorant, but my book was missing from the BB when it was purchased, so I'm waiting on a new instruction book which should be here tomorrow.  I think I'm not too bad, thank you to all of you on this forum!

    Looking forward to your responses and thanks in advance...

    Laura
