New Wave of Attacks Exploit Skype Support Team to Hijack Users` Accounts

A Skype user by the handle Ximer had his account stolen six times in a single day by a group of cyber-crooks. The attackers repeatedly conned the Skype support team into handing them control over Ximer`s account. Ximer’s account was stolen by a spammer who used the account, which in turn, made him look bad to his customers he was in touch with on Skype. Apple was in a similar position a couple of weeks ago because of improper validation of password reset checks.”]
