At a recent DefCon hacker conference in Las Vegas, a security researcher demonstrated a technique called Blackjacking for exploiting the trust between a BlackBerry and the out-of-the-office executive, reports GCN.

The technique uses the BlackBerry as a proxy to establish a virtual connection from an attacker into an internal network.

The tool, BBProxy, uses Research in Motion`s encrypted tunnel between the handheld and its enterprise server to deliver exploits and avoid detection by perimeter security devices.
