That’s the message that’s presumably being heard loud-and-clear by telecoms company Etisalat, which has found itself in the middle of a storm of negative headlines after it was revealed that an update it sent to BlackBerry users in the United Arab Emirates, which claimed to improve performance of the mobile device, was actually spying on them.

RIM, makers of the Blackberry smartphone beloved by businesspeople around the world, say that the spyware update sent out by Etisalat actually worsened battery life and reception, and (most worryingly) was designed to “to send received messages back to a central server.”

Potentially, the patch gave Etisalat the ability to read any emails and text messages sent from their customers’ BlackBerry devices.

Now, an online survey conducted by the Arabian Business website reveals that more than 50% of Etisalat’s BlackBerry customers are planning to ditch the UAE telecoms provider in the wake of the spyware.
