    Default Skype Warning

    "The Polytechnic Institute of New York University found that even when Skype users block callers, allow only calls from their contact list, and connect from behind a firewall, hackers can plumb their identities."





    I know a lot of people use skype without problem, but this is definitely something to consider.

    I use Skype so read the article. I don't think we need to worry. An IP address is pretty public anyway. Mine changes every time I log in and not once has it shown my correct location! (Would that I was in some of the locations in which it places me...)
