Canadian police have reportedly been in possession of a BlackBerry master encryption key for the past six years, which has been used to intercept over one million messages.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) managed to intercept messages sent through the phone’s BBM service, according to court documents obtained by Vice News and Motherboard.
The papers indicate that the RCMP keeps a server in Ottawa which “simulates a mobile device that receives a message intended for [the rightful recipient].” From there, the “BlackBerry interception and processing system” decrypts the message using the master key.
