>Peer-to-peer connectivity also has some privacy issues; the exposure of IP addresses to peers was abused to perform denial of service attacks against victims, a problem that became distressingly common in the world of e-sports. My brother who is a streamer, was DOSed because his IP was leaked via skype. This can be a huge pain to anyone with a public image and they have to use security by obscurity to maintain the integrity of their IP addresses. That and VPN/VPS etc. Which honestly my brother has no clue how to set up or use. I'm not saying that you should use Skype, far from it. But at least they will be closing some of their attack vectors based on this and individuals won't be DOSed because they used skype and some script kiddy found a way to get their IP (which is super easy fyi).
