Blackberry: Fin!


I love the French.

Top French government officials have been told that they are no longer to use BlackBerry devices for fears that foreigners could spy on them. The Le Monde newspaper reported that worker's in the President and Prime minister office were told that their email could fall into foreign hands.

France security SGDN , states that the BlackBerries use U.S. and U.K. Based servers. And that the risk is just too high. But some of the officials are bucking the system and using them anyway.

"They tried to offer us something else to replace our Blackberries but it doesn't work," one unnamed official told the paper.

No BlackBerry for you!!!

Oh well, Viva Le France
