Title: Skype Hacked: New Feature Allows Random Users to Join Your Calls

"Hey guys, just got a weird notification from Skype saying a new feature was released that allows random users to join your calls. I'm assuming this is some kind of sick joke, but I just checked my settings and it's real. Has anyone else gotten this notification? Thoughts on what could be going on?"

"yep just got a call from someone claiming to be a 'tech support' guy I hung up immediately, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of this kind of scam before. anyone else get similar calls? "

"Dude, this is a total game changer...or a total nightmare, idk. Can confirm my Skype account got a bunch of random dudes joining my group calls and I had to shut it down ASAP. Anyone else experiencing this?"

"Yikes, this is crazy! So they're basically allowing anyone to join your calls without your permission? I hope MS is fixing this ASAP before some major security breaches happen."

 

[flash9]

"Dude, this is straight outta a horror movie! Can you imagine getting dropped into a random call on Skype? This has major security implications, hope MS fixes it ASAP."

"Bro, this is crazy! I just checked my Skype and I've got this 'Open to Guests' thing enabled. I'm switching it off ASAP, hope it's not a backdoor for hackers"
