[UPDATE:14/11/2012@15:28GMT]
Early this morning we were notified of user concerns surrounding the security
of the password reset feature on our website. This issue affected some users
where multiple Skype accounts were registered to the same email address. We
suspended the password reset feature temporarily this morning as a precaution
and have made updates to the password reset process today so that it is now
working properly. We are reaching out to a small number of users who may
have been impacted to assist as necessary. Skype is committed to providing a
safe and secure communications experience to our users and we apologize
for the inconvenience.
- meritt 14y agoGood to hear they fixed it but it was responsibly disclosed a month ago and Skype did nothing whatsoever. We really need a better way to hold a company accountable for appropriately reacting to proven security threats without requiring a public disclosure.
