BlackBerry’s accusations against the maker of the security-centric Blackphone, SGP Techonologies, came like a bolt out of the blue, but it seems that the latter gives as good as it gets. Although BlackBerry denounced the “inferior” level of security that the Blackphone came with and condemned it as pretty “inadequate” for enterprise and business users, the manufacturer of the Blackphone answered BlackBerry’s claims and revealed that it does not feel threatened by the Ontario-based former giant at all.
The SGP Technologies startup stated that it recognizes BlackBerry’s major contribution and leading role in the market of security mobile solutions, but it also took a jab at John Chen’s company by saying that this happened roughly a decade ago. As per SGP Technologies, BlackBerry has succumbed to a “betrayal of the objectives of privacy”, because it was found out that the company “was willing to compromise its integrity if sufficient pressure was applied” by government structures.
“RIM MADE IT TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE FOR THE FORMERLY-SECRET ENCRYPTED MESSAGES TO BE DECRYPTED AND VIEWED”
Several years ago, this verbal battle would have resembled the Biblical battle between David and Goliath, but nowadays the situation is a lot different – we are viewing both BlackBerry and SGP Technologies as equals, who are about to clench their fists in a battle for the mobile security market.
