skype.PNGAlert! Alert! Alert! Skype users out there! Was reading the blog of Skype, Skype Heartbeat, that there is a serious-malicious-identity theft malware spreading across the Skype community. Specially for those who are using Skype on Windows system, please read the blog entry posted by Villu Arak. Here is a few news about that:

Some Windows users have been affected by a malware program that imitates Skype software and attempts to steal sensitive information. 65404-SkypeDefenderSetup.exe is classified as an Infostealer, that is, a Trojan horse program that attempts to steal sensitive information such as login credentials.

When executed it displays a confirmation window with the following text, “Skype-Defender(TM) Installed! Please login to your account to apply new plugins”.
