I disagree
said by Fatal Vector  :What you seem to fail to understand is that this behavior on the part of skype is malware/exploit like. It would probably be no great trick to modify the client to plant malware on your computer right through your filewall. OK... But just because Skype is the first one to openly talk about it does not mean they are the first ones to do it... If Skype never even worked on the concept, it would only be a mater of time till someone else figured it out and exploited it. Who does it first is irrelevant.
The inability to prevent or detect such firewall circumvention is the problem. Don't blame cyber criminals for having a criminal mind. Focus on the real problem, the security holes we allow our selves to live with. |
