BlackBerry Messenger targeted by hackers

McAfee is warning those who access their instant messengers and private accounts on their smartphones will be subjected to various forms of scams. The Security Software creator claims the rise in the popularity of these advanced phones and devices will cause hackers to focus on targeting then through unsolicited messages and spam.

A recent unsolicited message released on BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) claims the user’s information will be hacked if a certain new contact is accepted and then mentions the user’s account will be hacked into if any of the existing contacts accept this specific  new contact.
