Listening to Skype
« on: March 14, 2013, 09:22:00 AM »
The Moscow Times is reporting that the FSB (formerly KGB) not only listens to Skype calls, but has the technology to pinpoint locations of Skype calls.  Neither is earth-shattering news but is something we may not think about readily during conversations with family and friends.

The original Skype was encrypted but according to Russian news agency Vedomosti, when Microsoft purchased Skype the encryption was disabled.  The news service also reported that industry experts say that Microsoft shares monitoring capability with all secret services worldwide.
