Talk about getting you butts handed to you! During Blackhat this weekend the so called NSA-proof Blackphone was rooted un less than5 minutes… The root did not even require you unlocking the bootloader… Huge shoutout to @TeamAndIRC for getting root access and enabling ADB on the device.
The vulnerability that allowed @TeamAndIRC to gain root has been “patch, and it appears that the only other exploitable portion is possible with direct user permission.”
Again this is why BlackBerry is at the top of the game when it comes to security! Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
