Malware Targets Skype Users, Records Conversations (softpedia.com)

An anonymous reader writes: A new backdoor trojan is making the rounds, coming equipped with features that allow it to steal files, take screengrabs, and record Skype conversations. Currently detected targeting US organizations, researchers linked it to previous malware developed by a Chinese cyber-espionage group called Admin@338. Besides recording Skype conversations, the malware can also steal Office documents, and includes a complicated installation procedure that allows it to avoid antivirus software installed on the machine.

Skype is a standard tool that is upwards of 10% of 2 way streaming. A lot of interesting people use it. Hacking those people is money in the bank. You need a better question.
