couldn't. Ebay has announced that it will spin off Skype with an IPO (initial public offering) to separate the services that were never meant to

17.02.2009Security hole plugged in Skype for Mac
Skype on Tuesday issued an
update that fixes a serious
security flaw in its Internet
telephony software for Apple
Computer's Mac OS X.
A vulnerability exists in
the way Skype for Mac handles
Web links, according to a
Skype advisory. An attacker
could construct a malformed
Skype link which, when clicked
on, can cause the application
to crash or allow a system to
be compromised.
"A
user of Skype for Mac who
follows a specially crafted
URL may experience a crash of
the Skype software and
possibly may execute arbitrary
code without consent," the
company said in its advisory.
The Net telephony provider,
part of online auction giant
eBay, deems the issue "high"
risk.
A miscreant
could publish a malformed
Skype link on a Web site, for
example, and try to trick
someone into following it, the
company said.
The
vulnerability exists in Skype
for Mac releases prior to and
including 1.5.*.79. It has
been fixed in release 1.5.*.80
or later, which was available
for download on the Skype Web
site on Tuesday.
