As the iCloud hacking story continues to unfold, experts are finding it hard to talk about strong mobile security without bringing the corporate embodiment of it into the discussion.
“One tech name popping back on the radar is BlackBerry, which still has one of the best enterprise security systems out there,” stated Fox Business anchor, Liz Claman.
“BlackBerry is the anti-Apple,” declared CNNMoney’s Paul R. LaMonica. “BlackBerry is widely acknowledged by many tech experts to have one of the most secure mobile platforms…now that Jennifer Lawrence and other celebrities are dealing with the PR nightmare of their nude photos circulating around the Internet due to a hack of their iCloud accounts, it’s possible that the company could win new customers … or, at the very least, regain some of the ones it has lost.”
"One thing’s for sure – people are now thinking about mobile security more than they were last week.
If you want mobile security, you want BlackBerry."
I'm not really sure what value this advertising post by BlackBerry has as they don't provide a Cloud storage solution! But it just shows that this has put mobile security back in the media spotlight in the US, and everyone knows that Blackberry is the most secure mobile OS and hardware manufacturer

I would expect so, and evidently so does the media in the States!
It boils down to trust. How many people still trust Apple with their information after all of this?

I'd love to be able to use a SD card slot for example and not either buy into a bigger capacity or use Dropbox. Saying that I still have 8Gb of available memory on my 16gb iPhone.
Every OS has it's vulnerability as we know and these clever so and so's can hack anything.
The point I see is it's up to the user to take note of what is stored where and what is stored in the first place.

Apple don't hold documents and files in their iCloud only pictures so people will look at what they do store. Possibly DropBox as one example will see more uptake ?

After all, your own SD card has to be more secure that sending data to a cloud somewhere??

I would rather trust the phone and sd card rather than any cloud based storage. The only problem is loss or theft of the phone. As ever, awareness and care is the key.
