ElcomSoft Password Breaker gives you access to BlackBerry Wallet and Password Keeper

One of the great things about BlackBerry devices is the ability to password protect the device itself, as well as certain applications or areas on the device from prying eyes. Browse BlackBerry App World you’ll find a whole host of third party apps that allow you to password protect files, folders, photos, BBM, website passwords etc but the BlackBerry itself has one built in already – Password Keeper. You can also download a BlackBerry app that lets you save billing information, credit card details etc to save you time in filling out forms. Of course this is also password protected with a master password. You also would not want anybody accessing that kind of information, bringing me to the point of this post. ElcomSoft, a sotware company, has developed the first commercially available product that allows you to access passwords that are stored in Password Keeper as well as the information stored in BlackBerry Wallet.

Review: BullGuard Mobile Security 10 For BlackBerry v10.0.233

Do you remember my post on the ZeuS trojan? With the issue of the ZeuS Trojan BlackBerry variant targeting BlackBerry devices, I set out on a mission. My mission was to seek the antivirus/security softwares that are capable of defending your BlackBerry from this and other malware. One such software is BullGuard. Check it out…

I sent out emails inquiring who had the virus definitions for the ZeuS, and the only one who responded was BullGuard. I thought it would be a great idea to do a review on this product and let you see how it works. I didn’t test the antivirus for good reason, but I did show the definitions from BullGuard. BullGuard has had the definitions and able to detect and remove the ZeuS trojan since the end of September 2010! It detects the trojan before it’s installed.

Customer service is fantastic through email. The live chat isn’t as helpful, but through email they are fast to respond and are very precise with answers and assistance. The app itself installs quickly, and with a key you have after purchase, you set it up and you’re ready to go. The nice thing about this app is that you have a dashboard to send commands and view your device.

The BullGuard Mobile Security 10 if you look closely, is very similar to SMobile security Shield, and if you look at the screens, you’ll see Junos Secured. Junos Networks is the company that acquired SMobile Systems. BullGuard includes the following for the device through the app:

• Antivirus and Antispyware with real time detection and removal of viruses and spyware via direct download, SMS, MMS, e-mail, Bluetooth, and infrared.
• Antitheft: Look and wipe remotely, track your phone via GPS (I can tell you that when you click on the larger map, it’s very precise).
• Parental Control: Monitor your child’s calls, text messages, and photos.
• Firewall
• Spamlifter: Block calls and messages
• Basic Backup: Contacts and Calendar
• Forgetfulness: If you forgot where you placed your phone, you can log in and have the sound alarm so you can find your phone.
• Support: Free support 24/7

About

iWatch Dallas was created in 2010 by the Dallas Police Department as a virtual extension of community policing that enables citizens to anonymously report suspicious behaviors and activities in real time. It can be accessed through iWatchDallas.net, text messaging, standard calls or branded mobile smart phone applications designed for iPhone, Blackberry, Android and Symbian platforms.

How It Works

There are four ways for private citizens to submit tips to the Dallas Police Department using iWatch Dallas:

1. Download and launch the mobile smart phone application – send an anonymous text tip, an anonymous email or a public text tip with a photograph
2. Online at iWatchDallas.net
3. Text message “DPD + your tip” to 274637 (CRIMES)
4. Phone call to (214) 671-4TIP

Here, police determine which tips are actionable and deploy officers as needed. Tips received via text message, email and the smart phone application remain anonymous.

Reporting
