A glitch allowed hackers to access contacts, photos and more on Android devices simply by answering a Skype call to that device. The glitch was disclosed by security researcher Florian Kunushevci last week. It was patched earlier in December by Microsoft, which owns the Skype telecommunications platform. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Threatpost. The bug was first reported to Microsoft on Oct. 22 and it has since been patched as part of the Dec. 23 Skype update.
