More Skype Back Door Speculation

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the i'm-your-backdoor-man dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to reports, there may be a back door built into Skype, which allows connections to be bugged. The company has declined to expressly deny the allegations. At a meeting with representatives of ISPs and the Austrian regulator on lawful interception of IP based services held on 25th June, high-ranking officials at the Austrian interior ministry revealed that it is not a problem for them to listen in on Skype conversations."

    Nothing wrong with Skype,

    Except that it might have a backdoor... which was kind of the point of this article in the first place.
