A security researcher has found it’s possible to reveal a Skype app user’s IP address without the target needing to even click a link. Microsoft said the vulnerability does not need immediate attention.
How exactly would you stop this on a peer to peer app exactly, wouldn’t you have to route traffic through a centralized proxy?
Huh, the time machine must be off. This was news from a decade ago.
It’s actually one of the main reasons we switched off Skype to Discord for most gaming socialization.
They only fix bugs that otherwise would impact their earnings.
This is not new. It’s literally always been like this.
Lol I love how behind the times academics can be. This literally was a big thing used to ddos streamers back in the day like 2010s-2015s. All that needed to happen was they accepted a call and since Skypes peer to peer the hacker instantly got their IP. I remember Destiny being targeted for a while by it.
