Skype-Tapping Program Actually Windows Trojan Horse

A recently released program for tapping Skype calls is actually a Windows Trojan Horse program, Skype has explained in a blog post. A European software developer released the Trojan.Peskyspy program as a public warning of the potential danger it posed. The Swiss government had asked the developer's employer to create software that could listen in on Skype and other VoIP calls. The developer hoped the release would encourage other developers to come up with ways to counter the program.
