skype hack scam virus whatever links

[lawrawrrr]

Bumping because might be relevant as going round again to Hx people.

Thought as much, I believe it's probably only happening to those who linked their Microsoft and Skype accounts the first time round.

This is the recommended advice on the matter:

Yus I had one from @FlyingJesus; this evening

[scottish]

Yeah he got hacked, I believe Annie and Prosiary both clicked the link.

So watch out for the 3 of them.

[Empired]

Ah I assumed so with FlyingJesus

how exciting

[Kasabian]

Yeah @Clumping;'s account popped up with the link yesterday.

[FlyingJesus]

Yep clicked all the links hundreds of times even though I don't have her on Skype and haven't been online at all, I also constantly make sure I post my password (which is "password") all over the internet just in case this exploit that doesn't seem to require login details gets fixed, because I love being unsafe

I also constantly make sure I post my password (which is "password")

well that's a silly thing to do hen

[Stephen]

ah finally it's not just me pissing everyone off with these messages then

I never even click the links and i still end up sending them to everyone. I did click one once (after i already sent a link to everyone) just to see what it was and it ended up being some random spam advert.. maybe it has some kind of browser hijacking skype exploit coded into it or something? :S But surely skype I MEAN MICROSOFT would have fixed it by now cos it's been going on for years.

all they say is CHANGE UR PASSWORD even though no one logged into my **** account

When mine did it, I literally had hundreds of people popping up for days/weeks after asking "whats that"
