Skype Leaks Its Users’ Essential Information Including IP Address

Microsoft owned skype became responsible for leaking precious data of its users including internal and external IP addresses along with ports.

Anyone can acquire the IP details of any Skype user by simply knowing its Skype ID, we have checked.

As a matter of fact, for those who don’t know, Skype creates a direct peer to peer connection between Skype users for lesser latency and better connectivity. Meaning that a Skype voice or video call, or a file transfer takes place between two devices (PCs or Smartphones) without involving Skype server. This direct connection creates a better connectivity between users and offers premium quality voice and filer transfer speeds.

The problem, however, is that last known IP address of any Skype user – who has made a voice/video call or did a file transfer – is potentially available for anyone to access when required.

There is a manual method available – that requires some technical skills – through which anyone can access the last known IP address of any Skype user by just knowing the Skype ID of the target user.
