Skype security issue allows to steal any account
- ivan_krechetov 14y agoI've just tried on OS X, Skype v6.0.0.2946. The password marker doesn't appear in the Skype client under the new account; only in the Inbox. UPD: Tested on Windows 7, Skype v6.0.0.120. The notification about the password reset token does appear in the Skype client, but no reset code is shown. And I couldn't figure out making it visible or click-able. Verdict: can't reproduce.
- amima 14y agoTry refreshing the welcome page in Skype client to see Facebook page, close it, and then you will see the password marker.
- ivan_krechetov 14y agoOMG! You're totally right! I've pressed Ctrl+F5 on the home screen, skipped the Facebook thing, and here they are! http://www.xiag.ch/share/2012-11-14_1021.png http://www.xiag.ch/share/2012-11-14_1021.png
- ivan_krechetov 14y agoHas anyone bothered actually checking this? Is there a proof video or smth?
- poser 14y agoI sort of tried and it worked well until I got to the part about the marker or whatever.
- amima 14y agoLots of people already tried, several of my friends did experienced account hijacking. And I also tried myself (tested on my good friend account just to make sure). It is working. At least it was two hours ago. And as far as I know, it is still the issue.
