Recently, Blackphone has aimed to be the World’s first smartphone to put privacy and control ahead everything else.<br />
<br />
If you are reading the Blackphone for the first time, it is a Tegra 4i-powered smartphone that runs a custom Android version called PrivatOS and is mainly focused over security OS based on Android KitKat. The 21st-century secure smartphone describes themselves <i>“an unparalleled product ideal for people who recognize a need for privacy and want a simple, secure place to start.”</i><br />
<br />
One of the event’s highlight comes from the @TeamAndIRC named Justin Case who has able to gain root access and enable ADB on the device without <a href="http://windroidz.blogspot.com/2014/08/blackphone-worlds-most-secure-phone-gets-rooted-in-5minutes.html">unlocking the phone’s bootloader in just five minutes</a>.<br />
<br />

Boom escalation to system on the <a href="https://twitter.com/Blackphone_ch">@blackphone_ch</a> with <a href="https://twitter.com/timstrazz">@timstrazz</a> , root in 5 minutes<br />

hey <a href="https://twitter.com/Blackphone_ch">@Blackphone_ch</a> look, adb enabled without unlocking your bootloader <a href="http://t.co/fVa6dTHR6g">pic.twitter.com/fVa6dTHR6g</a><br />

According to Case, the exploit has now been partially fixed and it’s not exploitable without user intent, that’s still quite an issue for a smartphone that specializes on privacy and security.<br />
<br />
Blackphone will be priced at $629 goes with an updated and will be fully patched over the issue to enhance its security.<br />
But after this ‘Security Issue’, it is no longer news when it happens again<b> ‘it’s EXPECTED!’</b> but if the device can’t be rooted that’s more news than one that can be rooted.<br />
