Question privacy question.....

I have a blackberry email address.....is this a 'safe' address.
ie: goes directly from blackberry to handset?
My other email accounts that are directed to my handset (not blackberry addresses) have been compromised/hacked into by a 'stalker'.
Not so nice. Think my chosen server account is being hacked into.
Want to be sure my blackberry address is 'safe'.
Anyone out there have any idea.....? .....would be great to know.
Many thanks.....

Hi,

The Blackberry account only exists on the BlackBerry network so it would be considered "safer" than your other email accounts. If your computer's security has been compromised I would treat the threat level as high and consider all electronic communications as untrusted. What you should do ASAP is get access to a clean computer and change all your email address passwords and then have a professional clean\repair your PC.

Thanks,

Gary
