Hacker: Obama’s ‘spy-proof’ blackberry can be breached
Obama’s ‘spy-proof’ blackberry can be breached, says world’s most famous hacker
Washington, February 14 : While U.S. President Barack Obama’s blackberry has been claimed to be a spy-proof device, the world’s most famous hacker Kevin Mitnick says that it can still be breached.
“It’s a long shot, but it’s possible. You’d probably need to be pretty sophisticated, but there’s people out there who are,” Fox News quoted Mitnick as saying.
Mitnick served nearly five years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of wire and computer fraud for hacking into computer systems at some of the country’s largest cell-phone and computer companies during the 1990s, and he presently heads Mitnick Security Consulting.
“If I was the attacker, I would look to Obama’s close circle of friends, family and associates and try to compromise their machines at home. The objective would be to get Obama’s e-mail address on the BlackBerry,” Mitnick said.
He said that hackers might target a person with access to Obama because their networks would be much less secure than those used by the commander-in-chief.
Mitnick added that upon being armed with Obama’s coveted e-mail address, any hacker might send an e-mail to Obama in an attempt to lure him to a Web site that had previously been breached in order to transfer “malicious code”.
He, however, warned any potential hacker to consider the consequences before acting.
“The government would go after them full force,” he said.
Obama administration officials declined to comment on the issue.

Changes Being Made Network Wide
Well, it’s certainly been a long time since we have had any sort of new look hit the blog. With the help of the newest RocketScience members we have been making a lot of improvements for the network. Many will be seen by current members in the admin panel. We currently have plans to add in site tracking so that members can see the progress that we make. We are excited to have more traffic because that means we can update our network pages more quickly and efficiently than ever. Wasting less time worrying about manually tracking down data and showing it to each other and having to blog about it to current members. This just seems so much cleaner and effective to me.
Also we have currently emplemented a membership system to many of our sites so that we can provide premium content. This will serve a multitude of purposes including better content for our members and more motivation for our staff. Rest assured that much of our content will remain free, but some of the more intricate details that we’d rather not discuss without making something may be there, or perhaps extra membership goodies or other things that we think might be worthy to give to our paying subscribers. Further details will be applied as we decide the best path for each site. We are currently considering giving a network wide membership pass or single site pass this system would be manually updated by the admins for the multisite pass to avoid multiple fees to you the user.
