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.
