YIKES!! ARE YOU BEING "SKYPED" ?





While sitting in the waiting room of a Doctors office I was perusing some of my tech-sites when I ran across an article regarding Microsoft, Skype, and Skype users. Apparently Microsoft has been "checking in" on Skype messages just to verify that there isn't any fraud going on, but the article [ed. - which, as usual, I'll have the link to at the end of this Blog Post] went further, and brought up some interesting questions.

The title of the article is:

"Microsoft may be scanning your Skype messages"

Here are some excerpts:

"If you have any expectations about the privacy of your Skype communications, you may want to reassess them. Microsoft appears to be peeking into Skype messages for security reasons..."

"What these recent findings mean is that Skype users can no longer reasonably expect their Skype chats and calls to be private"

“The expectation was what I type to you just goes to you,” he told PCWorld. However, this finding shows that Microsoft is able to monitor some of that.”
