skype... how secure is it?

<< < (2/2)

Curt:
- sorry, I was ambiguous, because I don't 'voice' I forgot this is a major part of Skype. When I connect to a friend on Skype, I can call out the entire conversation we have TYPED from day one. My microphone has never been used on Skype, so I am not really sure how audible conversations are being handled by Skype.

housetier:
I do not trust skype. I cannot make sure my data is really secure. We use it at work but only for general chit-chat, we do not send confidential or sensitive information.

If you want something like IRC but more secure have a look at silc.

If there is personal or other sensitive information involved: be paranoid!
