[GLLUG] Impressed with skype

[Karl Schuttler]

I got this information from Pauldotcom security weekly, episode 82.
http://hydrogen.oshean.org/pauldotcom-SW-episode82.mp3 for the show. I
believe their source material is
http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/08/26/1312256

I suppose it's not exactly a rootkit in that it probably doesn't root
your system, but it shows that they are up to shady shit that they
don't need to be messing around with.

I highly suggest taking a listen to the show; it is rather informative
and entertaining.
