skype hacked 300x300 Skype lanzará lo antes posible la solución al agujero de seguridad en iPhone

A few days ago, a hacker found a hole in the Skype application for iPhone, and proved beyond a video not conceal that we leave at the end.

The security hole could allow malicious JavaScript using, access the user's address book and to download it without problems on your own computer, something that had not been brought to light, everyone could have personal information of each of the contacts we have in our address book.

Speaking to TenchCrunch, Skype recognizes the problem and is already solved for the early launch of the update in the App Store.

We are working hard to solve this problem, which fixed in our next update will arrive imminently. Meanwhile, we always recommend caution people to be added to accept your friend request or may have any questions, because the Internet common sense is paramount.

The funny thing is that Skype already knew the subject from some time ago. AppSec security consultancy helped discover the problem and was announced nearly a month ago. Skype responded by saying it would launch an update earlier this month, but we are nearing the end of September and still no update available.
