Magical Glace Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) I don't see a topic on this yet, so here goes. Apparently, Skype recently got hacked and tons of data was leaked. That includes passwords. A friend of mine already had his password stolen and a bot sent malware links to all of his contacts, including myself. Change password asap, and if any of your contacts sends a suspicious link, do not click. Article Edited July 20, 2015 by Nue Houjuu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soledai Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well, it won't effect me since I already had a database error and lost everything, lmfao. But sure, I'll give it a go all the same, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I don't know about you, but I'm a Nigerian prince who has money locked up in an account. If you help me by sending some to unlock it, I'll give you half. It seems to be a select few accounts that were affected, otherwise they'd be issuing warnings to everyone.

Book of Ereshkigal Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) It seems to be a select few accounts that were affected, otherwise they'd be issuing warnings to everyone. If I'm not misreading, the article says the passwords were stolen through spoofing, (right?), so careful users shouldn't be having issues outside of any malicious messages they may get through their contacts? (I'll still change my password, haven't switched it up recently anyway.) Edited July 20, 2015 by L95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarsamar Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I don't even remember my Skype password any more, and I use Lastpass for everything I don't need to access publicly, anyway . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
