Why not use Blackberry PIN

Tom Watson has come out today on a Birmingham Website, The Stirrer, to say he feels smeared by events of the last 48 hours. He then adds this: "Because I'm a blogger and a I've got a big engagement with digital technology they are trying to nail me" Watson said. "But it's precisely because I'm engaged in that world and I know what I'm doing, I wouldn't send this kind of material by email." Watson says he was misquoted and The Stirrer will be amended shortly. The editor of Stirrer agrees it was a misquote.pLink to new post when it comes. Interestingly, The Tories have already stopped using texts for super-secret communications. I know of at least two shadow Cabinet departments which now communicate by Blackberry PIN - of which no record is ever kept. If you ever want to send RedBox confidential tips by PIN, my number is 2555BAAA Fascinatingly, Unseen writes in the comments In any case, PIN-to-PIN messages are transmitted unencrypted, via Blackberry's servers, and there have been several court cases (finance fraud, mainly), where these messages have been used in evidence. So perhaps they aren't as anonymous as people think. Someone ought to tell the Tories.
