How to prevent your skype being jacked - Sunlight - 06-17-2013
Well, I know that there are like 30 skype accounts being jacked/day. I'm sure it gets very annoying whenever it happens to you, well, now you can make sure it doesn't happen to you by following this method.
First off, for a skype to get jacked, the jacker has to have the email that you REGISTERED with. That means, if your using the email that you registered skype with on skype, then your vulnerable.
To change your skype email, go to your skype client and edit your profile settings. Now, you want to add 3 emails, and make sure none of them are your registration email. Then your secure on that.
Then, never use your real full name and make sure to NEVER show your birthdate on there.
I hope i helped, if you follow these steps, your skype is safe.

Another way is to EMAIL skype saying not to let others recover it. They will leave a note on your account.
