    I couldn't get the appropriate category for this so I am posting here, please exempt if it's wrong section.

    Is this true ? I heard a severe security flaw in the massively popular Skype video chat service might put Internet users worldwide at risk.
    The serious security breach in the Internet video chat program, which boasts over 500 million users around the globe, means that any evil computer nerd could easily hunt down users'' whereabouts.
    The flaw lets hackers determine the IP address from which a Skype user is logged in. That's a problem because IP addresses are usually specific to Internet users physical locations. Hackers simply have to know how to grab their targets IP addresses from simulated calls that Skype users would never notice, and which leave no trace.

    This looks very serious and everyone be careful ;)
