A couple of days ago, security vulnerability for Skype was discovered by Levent Kayan, a Berlin-based security researcher. What he had discovered was this exploit which allowed malicious hackers to enter a string of JavaScript code into the "mobile phone" field for that user, and the minute that user logs on, the hacker would be able to trigger the program, allowing the hacker access to the user's Skype account and possibly even the computer they are using Skype on. Skype has since acknowledged the issue, although they seem to be downplaying it by calling it a "minor issue".
Ubergizmo, Skype vulnerability issue will be fixed this week
