Skype Confirms Hacker Attack, Says No User Information Was Compromised

As I’ve reported to you yesterday, the official social accounts and blog of Skype VoIP platform got hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army, who posted several messages asking Microsoft to stop spying on users.

While Microsoft was quick to remove the tweets and take down the blog posts for an in-depth clean-up, the company now claims that no user account got compromised during the attack.

While the company indeed confirmed the hack, it provided pretty vague information, so it’s very hard to understand how come multiple social accounts of the same service got compromised in just a few minutes. Maybe they were using the same password for all social accounts…
