[Warning] NEW Skype Exploit [Warning]

[R2Pleasent]

is it a threat even if we have 2 step verification?

2 step verification is only available to those who use an email / facebook login for skype. Regular Skype accounts do not have this option as of yet. From what I've seen, it is much more difficult to hack an email/facebook login skype. However, hackers can actually have these accounts "suspended" (AKA banned). This is what happened to my skype account live:r2pleasentgames

 

[Ferrariman]

thanks for the warning.

 

[Yuzaa]

[Master]

Thanks for warning!

 

[R2Pleasent]

Assume every single Skype is hacked right now.

 

[AdamsGoldShop]

not really

 

[R2Pleasent]

not really

Well, if you assume everyone is hacked, you will require proof that they aren't hacked. Such as PM or using their Live Chat. I am not saying everyone is hacked, but by taking this perspective people can protect themselves.

Care to pm me how they are doing it?

 

[R2Pleasent]

Not entirely sure on the specifics of the method. Likely they are social engineering the live chat / form recovery system. Potentially they could be working with someone who is actually on the Skype support team.

 

[AdamsGoldShop]

its ooga again

 

[R2Pleasent]

Doesn't matter who it is at the end of the day, if one person can do it, others can as well. Just keep being extremely cautious with Skype trades everybody.

 

[HeyWhatsGood]

So you guys don't suggest skype at all?

 

[Emperor Nero]

Let's be fair here. No 3rd party chat application is ever going to be 100% secure.

 

[Krenshaw]

Thanks for the heads up. Anyone care to explain me how I could add 2 auth verification to my skype?

 

[zemedy]

So basically, don't even bother with skype?

 

[Matty ICE]
