With Sony; Google; Microsoft and Yahoo all in the news regarding their systems being compromised… it looks as though Skype can now be added to the (what appears to be) growing list of technologies that are either: a) revealing their vulnerabilities and/or b) being cracked for malicious / ‘security’ purposes (as is rumored to be the case with Skype regarding repressive governments eavesdropping via said technology).
Granted, no technology is 100% hack-proof; yet, as the world continues to place greater and greater emphasis on our dependency / reliance on applications and software, etc. the on-going challenge of those who are seeking to use these mediums for less-than-forthright purposes is growing in direct (if not it seems in some instances, greater) proportion.
