Skype’s integration with Facebook is being touted as “the best of both worlds” but the new Skype 5.5 for Windows update contains a highly-critical security flaw that allows Skype session hijacks or even full system compromise.

Apparently, he had "found a few security issues which makes it possible to hijack a Skype Session and compromise a user's system due to a lack output sanitization."

The Skype security blog has not yet acknowledged the flaw.

I precisely wished to thank you very much again. I am not sure the things I would have followed without these tips contributed by you on my area. It became a distressing issue in my position, but considering a new specialized tactic you managed that took me to cry over joy. I'm happy for the guidance as well as sincerely hope you find out what a great job that you are undertaking teaching some other people all through your website. Most probably you've never met any of us.
