A few days ago, I was working on DrOptix‘s laptop and talking on Skype. It was a casual conversation with some friends. But what happend next surprised me.
After I left, he was thinking that I surely forgot to delete something. So he executed find and grep on his laptop. The result was interesting. He found out the folder that Skype made for my account in his home directory. While further investigating, he found out a database. Navigating through it, he saw what I’ve talked to my friends in plain text. The next day, he told me about it and we made a test.
Now, for the fun part.
