Boeing Black smartphone – Ambassadors, World Leaders World phone and NSA and CIA Spy vs Spy smartphone that self-destructs in 5 seconds

“Designed to meet the evolving security needs of defense and security customers, Boeing has released a modular smartphone to enable secure access and exchange of critical data and communications on a trusted mobile device. Boeing has drawn on its deep expertise in information assurance, advanced technology partners and a US-based manufacturer to provide an innovative, secure and flexible mobile solution.”

Back in 2012, I read a story about Boeing planning to make a super secure smartphone based on the Google Android OS as stated in “Boeing to make super secure Android phone”, published April 12, 2012 4:30 PM PDT by Eric Mack, CNET News.

Fast Forward two years later to 2014! Boeing’s plans have finally come to life with the Boeing Black smartphone that was filed with the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) on Wednesday February 26^th 2014 as stated in “Boeing's 'Black' smartphone will deactivate if tampered with”, published February 26, 2014 3:51 PM PST by Dara Kerr, CNET News and “Boeing offering 'black phone' for secure communications”, published Wednesday Feb 26, 2014 8:44pm EST BY ALWYN SCOTT, Reuters.

Their super secret smartphone, the Black Phone, wasn’t very super secret, as it made it onto the Geezam blog in Kelroy’s article entitled “Boeing Black Smartphone designed for handling top secret communications”.

Boeing Black smartphone – Ambassadors, Presidents, Prime Ministers and World Leaders World phone

Not much is known about this smartphone, even now some six (6) months since information leaked of this super spy smartphone. It’s 132.8mm by 68.58mm (5.2” by 2.7”) that’s known of to be Dual SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) smartphone with support GSM, WCDMA, and 4GLTE.

In short, a Boeing Black smartphone is an ambassadors, presidents and World Leaders World phone that enables calls anywhere, anytime as stated in “Boeing offering 'black phone' for secure communications”, published Thursday, 27 Feb 2014 1:31 PM ET, CNBC!

Apparently Boeing wants it to remain under wraps, as it’s made for enterprise clients and isn’t intended for general sale to the public, to quote the letter that was included with the FCC filing at the time:  “Boeing's Black phone will be sold primarily to government agencies and companies engaged in contractual activities with those agencies that are related to defense and homeland security”.

For that reason, specs are basically unavailable for this smartphone, as it’s protected by loads of Boeing Red tape and NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreements) signed between Boeing and their potential Enterprise and Corporate Clients, some of whom may even be the US Government spy agencies such as the NSA (National Security Agency) and the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). What is known is the design team that made the Boeing Black smartphone, who are mostly private Military contractors:

1.      Argon ST Inc

2.      Digital Receiver Technology Inc

3.      Kestrel Enterprises Inc

4.      Ravenwing Inc

5.      Solutions Made Simple Inc

This makes it all the more interesting a device to blog about!

Best of all, it’s sealed tight with screws that are set in such a manner that any attempt to tamper with the phone will cause it erase all data according to the letter that was included with the FCC filing at the time, quote: “The Boeing Black phone is manufactured as a sealed device both with epoxy around the casing and with screws, the heads of which are covered with tamper proof covering to identify attempted disassembly. Any attempt to break open the casing of the device would trigger functions that would delete the data and software contained within the device and make the device inoperable”.

Boeing Black phone Security - NSA and CIA Spy vs Spy smartphone that self-destructs in 5 seconds

If this smartphone is more secure than the SGP Technologies Blackphone or even the Blackberry, then the Boeing Blackphone is a potential new contender in the Enterprise and Corporate world that loves secrecy.

Especially as many other phones is hackable via a Baseband Processor Attack as demonstrated at Black Hat by Accuvant research scientists Mr. Mathew Solnik and Mr. Marc Blanchou as explained in my blog article entitled “How to Hack ANY Blackberry or Smartphone - SGP Technologies survived in the Lion’s Den as Blackphone Hack was cover for Blackberry Baseband Hack”.

Most likely this Boeing Black smartphone may not have access to the Google Play Store, as there are Apps that can spy on your other Apps data and steal your Credit Card and other Credentials as described in my blog article entitled “Twitter’s one-click Buy Button – How One-Click E-Commerce is Twitter’s Great Smurfberry Scam Confessions of a Shopaholic”.

Folks, this smartphone has been on my Radar since February 2014. When more news comes to light, it’ll shine very bright on my blog, no matter how secret this Boeing Black smartphone may be.
