A recent article on Forbes.com got my attention, Microsoft’s just updated skype to allow it to eavesdrop, and even record your skype calls without or consent or knowledge. That scared me a little when I thought of the number of Clients I have that are currently using services like Skype to place business calls. It’s a great service, I use it myself, but this recent changes makes me take pause, and so should you.
