Skype vulnerable to attacks that compromise our data

Skype is known for allowing free call and chat with your contacts. If you are someone who uses this program daily IOS forewarned, Skype is vulnerable to XSS attacks.

This hole is present in version 3.0.1 and earlier allows a malicious user to execute JavaScript code to capture data or allowing our agenda "theft" of any other information.

Phil Purviance, creator of the video and AppSec security consultant, was a month ago who found the exploit that allows such action. Hopefully, now that it has attracted the attention of the media, for an end to this problem.

At the moment, as a logical preventive counsel since Skype does not accept communications from anyone outside the group of people known until resolve the issue. All sage advice.
