In regards to Skype Hackings

Props to the staff for this update.

 

How the hell can people hack skype accounts, I mean most people are just imposters, but hacking someone's skype? How the hell they do THAT?

 

There's been exploits popping up in Hotmail and Skype for years.

 

Has Skype been contacted regarding the matter?

 

I doubt it, but what are they going to do or say?

 

I remember their was a recovery issue last year. After they were contacted, they issued a statement and fixed the issue. If anyone has the step-by-step process, contact Skype...

That would be super clutch.
However, the only people that have a 'step-by-step process' are the one's abusing it, and I highly doubt are going to do that.

 

I've tried with many agents. They just advise me to have the hacked victims contact them. Or give me automated-like responses about keeping my account secure.

 

Not using skype at all=best

 

Good update, I got banned from powerbot because of that :S

 

Thx for this warning.it is helpful

 

Would this mean a completely secure skype account? in that case I'll buy some credits..

 

Yes (i think), because they require that information to recover your account.

 

Unfortunately, no

Is there anyone who got hacked recently and have purchased Skype credit b4 that can verify this?

 

Whats to stop people scamming if the buyer/seller doesnt ask for a PM? and they just claim they're hacked and get away scot free?

 

Thanks for the update

 

My skype currently got hacked as well, I always stay on top of all that changing passwords, emails etc and first time getting hacked. Microsoft really needs to do something about this.

 

Yeah your skype shot me a few messages asking to buy gold lol. Soon as I said "Oh damn I assume your skype got hacked as well" he just left me alone lmao.

 

Consider the alternative. Due to the mass skype hacking this is necessary.

 

If someone were to type out a message for skype/microsoft suggesting they tighten up their security and got as many sythe members to email it to them, I bet we'd get their attention and pressure them to fix the problem.
