Since servers for the addictive Blackberry wireless mail service reside in places like the United States, some government workers in France have been told to eschew using those devices. The French government has some insecurity issues when it comes to their Blackberries. They are afraid that the messages passing through Research In Motion's servers can be compromised by foreign agents, presumably the NSA and CIA among others.
A RIM has defended its solution by citing its encryption and its approval by NATO and several national governments on security grounds. They also told the BBC that the NSA, America's agency responsible for breaking encrypted communications, can't view Blackberry messages. One has to wonder if allegations that dropped AT&T documents onto the judge's bench in their class-action spying case, should also be cause for wonder. Did some piece of private information somehow become public after having been sent to or from a Blackberry? The report does not say.French Fear The Blackberry
