Skype, Microsoft’s now ubiquitous video/messenger program, has long been a go-to destination for attackers looking to peddle their malware.
The latest campaign to leverage the software – a botnet circulating adware, composed entirely of Skype users – was recently disrupted by researchers.
Ronnie Tokazowski, a senior researcher with the firm PhishMe, first knew something suspicious was afoot after he spotted an attacker sending call request after call request through the software.
