Security experts have spread an alert to Skype users about an ongoing attack that try to induce them to load a link that spreads malware. Trend Micro was the first to alert Skype community on an attack that has infected users spamming their contact lists with messages in both English and German. The URL sent in the message redirects the user to download an archive named Skype_todaysdate.zip containing a namesake executable file. The malware opens a backdoor to allow a remote control of the attacker communicating with a remote server via HTTP.”]
