Skype Trojan Can Log VoIP Conversations

Posted by timothy on from the sans-malice-would-be-a-useful-thing dept.

Slatterz writes "Security giant Symantec claims to have found the public release of source code for a Trojan that targets Skype users. Trojan.Peskyspy is spyware which records a voice call and stores it as an MP3 file for later transmission. An infected machine will use the software that handles audio processing within a computer and save the call data as an MP3. The file is then sent over the internet to a predefined server where the attacker can listen to the recorded conversations."

    Not having used Skype since it launched, are you saying that recording the call isn't already a feature?
    Seems like it could be a pretty popular plug-in if they neutered the redirection.
