German Chancellor changes his phone: America, are you still eavesdropping?
The new mobile phone used by German Chancellor Angela Merkel has a special protection device to prevent wiretapping. Earlier media reports said that the US National Security Agency may have wiretapped Merkel's mobile phone calls. It is reported that this Blackberry Q10 was made specifically for Merkel, equipped with special equipment and installed with a cryptographic chip from Secusmart, which is worth 2,500 euros, or about 21,000 yuan. It is reported that Merkel could choose between two mobile phones at the time, a Blackberry with a standard keyboard and a Blackberry Z30 with a touch screen. She chose the first option - the standard keyboard. The phone is based on the Blackberry 10 operating system and has a chip to ensure that phone conversations and received electronic messages are encoded within the government's internal network. Text messages will also be encoded by the new phone. In 2013, the German magazine Spiegel, which obtained information from former CIA employee Snowden, reported that the US National Security Agency tracks 500 million contacts of German citizens on telecommunications networks every month. It is reported that the tracking target may also be German Chancellor Merkel.
