Title: Skype Hacked: New Feature Allows Random Users to Join Your Calls

"Hey guys, just got a weird notification from Skype saying a new feature was released that allows random users to join your calls. I'm assuming this is some kind of sick joke, but I just checked my settings and it's real. Has anyone else gotten this notification? Thoughts on what could be going on?"

"yep just got a call from someone claiming to be a 'tech support' guy I hung up immediately, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of this kind of scam before. anyone else get similar calls? "

"Dude, this is a total game changer...or a total nightmare, idk. Can confirm my Skype account got a bunch of random dudes joining my group calls and I had to shut it down ASAP. Anyone else experiencing this?"

 

[Horsev]

"Yikes, this is crazy! So they're basically allowing anyone to join your calls without your permission? I hope MS is fixing this ASAP before some major security breaches happen."

 

[flash9]

"Dude, this is straight outta a horror movie! Can you imagine getting dropped into a random call on Skype? This has major security implications, hope MS fixes it ASAP."

 

[lo.ki]

"Bro, this is crazy! I just checked my Skype and I've got this 'Open to Guests' thing enabled. I'm switching it off ASAP, hope it's not a backdoor for hackers"

"omg, you're joking, right? I'm trying to meet with a business partner for a potential collab and this just makes me wanna use a VPN for all future calls. Has anyone seen any patches or fixes for this yet?"

"just got a call from my 'brother' that I haven't talked to in years, all because some random dude just joined my Skype call thinking it was a funny joke. not funny lol. anyone else been getting random callers?"

"Dude, that's crazy. Just got a call from a random number and it was some dude trying to sell me a timeshare, I'm pretty sure it was a scam. Anybody else getting these weird calls?"

 

[saantaanaa]

"Lol what is going on with these big tech companies? First Slack gets pwned and now Skype? This is a major security fail, hopefully Microsoft will patch it ASAP. Someone confirm if this is legit or just a hoax."

 

[one2one]

"Whoa, this is wild! I just got a call from my buddy and he told me someone random just joined our group chat on Skype. Anyone else experiencing this or is my Skype just totally f*cked?"
