"Just Had My Skype Account Hacked - What Did I Do Wrong?"

[Well 88]

"Hey guys, just had my Skype account hacked and I'm freaking out. I logged in to find all my contacts changed and my status updated to 'online' (I was actually offline). Any of you ever experience this? Did I do something stupid?"

"Lol, don't feel too bad, dude. Weak passwords and 2FA not enabled are usually the culprits. Double-check your account settings and consider 2FA ASAP to avoid this kind of stuff."

"Dude, this happened to me last year and I was super paranoid about it. I think the reason behind it was a weak password and maybe even an outdated Skype client. You should change your password ASAP and check for any weird account activity"
