This is not true. BBM's (and text messages) CAN be read by IT.
Just turn on logging on the BES. From: William Robbins [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 04, 2011 12:18 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Blackberry Messenger Nope. BES logs most things...so long as it's enabled and it crossed the BES network. PIN and BBM never leave RIM's infrastructure. - WJR On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 11:13, Jeff Brown <[email protected]> wrote: I thought BES logged EVERYTHING.

All traffic is over RIM's infrastructure exclusively, and never leaves it. All BlackBerry devices share a common encryption key which is used for this purpose. The qualifier to this is it's secure so long as PIN encryption is enabled. This isn't quite the article I had in mind, but this should show you where to verify...it's on by default. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&extern alId=KB13016 - WJR On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 10:59, Steve Ens <[email protected]> wrote: Just wondering what the general consensus here is with Blackberry Messenger. I need to draft a note to staff confirming that BBM's are secure and that there is no way that IT or anyone else can access them from the BES or BESX console. From what I've read is that they are much more secure than text messaging in that they are encrypted. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
