Silent Circle and Geeksphone Launched New Privacy Equipment Blackphone

Smartphone security companies have recently reported about the surge in demands since the previous NSA contractor named Edwards Snowden revealed spying activities done by British and US people. On the fourth-day of the opening Mobile World Congress in the city of Barcelona in Spain, majority of firewall software providers anti-virus selling companies and professionals involved in providing cryptology services have said that spying has become an overdue trend in the mobile or technology sector. 

According to the technology survey reports and estimation made by Norton, one of the well-known antivirus sellers for the year 2013 conducted with the help of 13,000 adults, 48 percent of Smartphone users and tablet owners never choose to avail security measures in the form of security software and passwords. Based on various concerns reawakened by the entire debate around the Snowden’s revelations about the spying activity, Silent Circle, leading online security specialists of California and Geeksphone, the Smartphone Company of Spain have launched privacy-protected equipment named Blackphone. 

Professionals working under both of these companies and security specialists have launched the handset at about 629 dollars. The handset incorporates HD screen, 4.7-inch size and uses private Android OS version to provide anonymous remote data wiping, anonymous search options, texting, private calls and exchange of files. In addition, with the availability of countless Android apps from the Google Play Store, people can expect to download their favorite gaming or utility apps and avail best possible benefits. 

According to the statement given by the president of Silent Circle named Phil Zimmermann, “The Snowden disclosures have certainly raised awareness about some of these issues. I think what we have seen is that there is a heightened sensitivity to the implications of what a loss of privacy can mean. But we are offering a tool that makes a huge difference to somebody who is currently using no privacy tools at all.” Get details from here .
