ElcomSoft Recovers Passwords to BlackBerry Password Keeper & BlackBerry Wallet
MOSCOW, August 30, 2011/PRNewswire/ --
ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. updates Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker with the
ability to recover BlackBerry Password Keeper and Wallet master passwords,
enabling forensic access to user's login credentials and financial
information kept in BlackBerry devices. The tool becomes the first
commercially available product to offer access to information stored in
BlackBerry Password Keeper and BlackBerry Wallet.
By enabling forensic access to encrypted information stored in
BlackBerry Password Keeper and Wallet apps, ElcomSoft helps investigators
recover more valuable pieces of otherwise inaccessible information stored in
RIM BlackBerry smartphones.
Background
BlackBerry users have an option to securely store and quickly access
their passwords and their financial information including credit card
numbers, billing addresses etc. This information is being held in BlackBerry
Password Keeper and Wallet apps, and is securely protected with additional
master passwords. In order to access information stored in these apps,
BlackBerry users have to enter the correct master password first. After 10
unsuccessful attempts, all data stored in BlackBerry Password Keeper or
Wallet could be permanently erased from the device.
Information stored in Password Keeper and Wallet gets into off-line
backups. However, even when the backup gets decrypted, the users' passwords
and financial data remain securely protected with Password Keeper and Wallet
master passwords.
Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker can now recover master passwords to
Password Keeper and Wallet, providing investigators full access to stored
login credentials and financial information in plain-text. Elcomsoft Phone
Password Breaker can try hundreds of thousands passwords per second, making
dictionary and brute-force attacks feasible.
Pricing and Availability
Elcomsoft Phone Password Breaker is available immediately in Home and
Professional editions. Licenses start from $79.
