Obama's BlackBerry still hackable, warns Mitnick


President Obama's 'bullet-proof' BlackBerry might still be cracked, according to uber-hacker Kevin Mitnick.

The social engineering pioneer and ex-con turned security consultant said that although breaking into the supposedly super-secure device would be difficult, it wouldn't be impossible. "It's a long shot, but it's possible," Mitnick told Fox News. "You'd probably need to be pretty sophisticated, but there's people out there who are."
