Microsoft fixes Skype account hijack issue
In a post on the Skype Heartbeat blog, the company's Leonas Sendrauskas stated:
Early this morning we were notified of user concerns surrounding the security of the password reset feature on our website. This issue affected some users where multiple Skype accounts were registered to the same email address. We suspended the password reset feature temporarily this morning as a precaution and have made updates to the password reset process today so that it is now working properly. We are reaching out to a small number of users who may have been impacted to assist as necessary. Skype is committed to providing a safe and secure communications experience to our users and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Even though Skype and Microsoft have said they have fixed this particular exploit, we would definitely recommend that all Skype users change their passwords immediately just in case.

Super_Skunk They need to fix the IP resolving. You can grab anybody's IP who has Skype. Way to many kids out there with there host booters. DDoSing isn't cool, big or funny.
Agreed!
