‘We can snoop into Blackberry data’

Our Bureau

New Delhi, June 12 The Communication and IT Minister, Mr A. Raja, on Thursday said that the Government will deploy technology that will enable the security agencies to snoop into data being transmitted through Blackberry devices if the Canadian company did not come up with a solution.

“If they fail to come up with any satisfactory solution, we will invoke other options, like we have been approached by other companies with solution to decrypt the data passed over the BlackBerry network,” Mr Raja said.

Research In Motion has so far refused to give encryption codes to its network to the Government. Security agencies had told the company that access to data being transmitted through Blackberry should be provided if it wanted to continue offering the service.
