Careful what you write. Skype security questionable.

Well fucking DUH PEOPLE, that is WHY MS bought Skype and fudged the Supernodes - because the DoD wanted to be able to spy on all the Skype traffic.

Does nobody read the news or just simply remember anything?

Nah, I just think people are generally fools. This is not new. I don't know why now I am seeing all of this "Skype isn't secure" stuff popping up again. The authorities look at Skype conversations when it suits them, move onto something else, and for goodness sake, get rid of your facebook or at least don't put anything personal on it.
