Skype Flaw Strikes Back

If you’re a Skype fan but you’re still running Windows 7 or older (seriously…time for an update) then this story matters to you. So, a bug in Microsoft’s video chat app has been detected which apparently can’t simply be patched. The flaw is going to require a bit of reengineering from Team Skype. Good news is that its only for the Windows 7 or older versions. Our takeaway? Update your ancient machine and Skype on!
