What if it is true? Why would it only happen in India?The purported documents, if they are real, indicate that the smartphone giants gave India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Indian military intelligence "backdoor" tools that would let the Indian agencies read encrypted emails sent to and from RIM's BlackBerrys, Apple's iPhones and Nokia smartphones.
"Military Intelligence and the CBI have been conducting bilateral cellular and Internet surveillance operations since April 2011," reads a document allegedly from the Directorate General of Military Intelligence and publicly posted online.
The memos refer to an agreement between India's Ministry of Defense and RIM, Nokia and Apple, that considers data interception and surveillance part of the "general framework" allowing the smartphone makers to sell their devices in India.
A "decision was made earlier this year to sign an agreement with mobile manufacturers (MM) in exchange for the Indian market presence," the military intelligence document reads.
Why not in Europe? Or in USA and Canada?
