this article in The Register may well be of interest to users of M$ Outlook:
Backdoor to M$ Outlook for spies! Now if any Backdoor exists, then you can bet it will also be found and exploited by hackers, never mind uncontrolled snooping by 'Government Agencies'. what next will Mr Snowden reveal? Mik Edited by audiomik - 12 July 2013 at 2:09am |

Conspiracy theorists couldn't write this stuff..  If someone had written this here, they would have been crucified for weeks. Did people really think Outlook.com, M$ buying Skype, M$ Giving away Windows Live Mail, SkyDrive, was from a sense of giving something back !? IT consumers are encouraged to put more information online, and don't consider why huge tech companies are providing all of this free... <facepalm> Waiting for news Norton Insecurity suite, is actually huge "Crooks In Action" back door.

since you mention it, Skype interception is within another article in The Register which indicates that third party access has been there for at least the last five years!
"Project Chess" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/21/skype_project_chess_snooping_report/ Any more for the Conspiracy theorists? Well, there is no doubt some form of intercept enabled on one or more nodes connecting between my or your PC/Phone/Pad etc and this Forum..... Mik Mik |

I'm as far from a conspiracy theorist as you can get but I never doubted that there weren't backdoors in free services such as Skype. It comes as no surprise to me at all. To be precise its Outlook chat that has a backdoor, email doesn't require it because of course that's all collected by matter of course anyway!
Thunderbird and proper encryption on the side all the way if that's what you need. |

This lot, and the huge Windows update downloads clogging my main pc, is really making me consider, switching main desktop to Linux Mint, permanently. Edited by levyte357- - 12 July 2013 at 4:21pm |
