- Canada 12y agoAll lies. Microsoft has all clear text. Make up a new, random https URL. Something no one knows and no one would accidently hit. Message it to someone on Skype. Wait 5 minutes to see a bot from Microsoft hit your URL.

- cturhan 12y agoAnyone tried that?
- fragmede 12y agoWhat is your alternative proposal to prevent malware from propagating via Skype?
- woodman 12y agoDon't? This is the wrong layer to apply the fix. Also, this method of spidering/cataloging would only prevent the most naively implemented worm from propagating.
- drethemadrapper 12y agoHere is it - https://defuse.ca/microsoft-reads-your-skype-messages.htm https://defuse.ca/microsoft-reads-your-skype-messages.htm And another thing that worries me is if video chats between two Skype users do/can fall on the wrong hands.

- hobarrera 12y ago> All Skype-to-Skype voice, video, file transfers and instant messages are encrypted. > For instant messages, we use TLS (transport-level security) to encrypt your messages between your Skype client and the chat service in our cloud [...] As expected, it's just network-level encryption, not end-to-end encryption.
