Over on Truth Social, someone posted the "smash with a hammer" story about Hillary Clinton and her cellphones. What was the fascination with BlackBerries? Here's a possible reason: VPN-like encryption
Can you please write an article about Virtual Private Networks? In particular how we can understand them and make better choices on which VPN providers to use currently available on the market?
Totally understand. Given the backdoors that the providers (ATT, etc) have via CALEA, why wouldn't people still use Blackberry? Maybe I missed that in the article. The phone might be "old fashioned" but the use of a local server is a tremendous advantage. Also, how difficult is it to break the public/private key using up-to-date industrial / government strength computers? I've often wondered that. I realize that its dependent on key length which used to be 128. I also realize it can't be done for real time, but to crack something for evidence, you can allow for a month or so. Thanks CC - very informative article, especially for non-IT guys.
I often thought how curious it was that RIM just...went away. My boss and I were talking not too long ago about this and he admitted to missing his BB.
Fun aside - my local Brewery has a distillery for their own bourbon. One of my favorite drinks there is called a Blackberry Smash. Never thought about that perspective.

Great article. What about using a phone using Linux-based OS. Does that change anything when looking for more secure communication?

Is the Starlink phone owned by Elon Musk?

I liked my Crackberry because of the keyboard and the thumb ball.
