A new problem, discovered by David Viera-Kurz (security expert), affects Skype from its recent integration into Facebook. They have discovered that versions 5.3 and 5.5 of Skype, contain a hole in security that could again lead to cyber-criminals will take personal data or be made directly with the domain of the account. Being very specific, specified where the error lies, and apparently occurs when Skype runs Java code in the profile status messages, since it does so without filter data, thus leaving a hole for all those who wish to carry out an attack can take cookies, and with them all the logged information. They have also specified that anyone can take advantage of that vulnerability, i.e. that there is no to have the contact as a friend in the social network for us attack. After this and other so many problems related to the safety of the information of the social network Facebook during these past months, question them Yes do really take seriously the importance of ensuring the security of the data of a personal nature of its users?
