Security hole allows anyone to hijack your Skype account
It looks like Skype has another big hole in their security. According to reports, a security hole makes Skype accounts vulnerable to hijacking. The security hole allows unauthorized users with knowledge of your Skype-connected email address to change the password on your Skype account, thus gaining control of it.

The hijack is triggered by signing up for a new Skype account
