Skype Bug Sends Messages To Random Contacts 77
An anonymous reader writes "A bug has been discovered in Skype that sends users' private instant messages to other contacts whom the messages were never intended for. Skype has confirmed the issue and is working on a fix. 'We are aware that in rare circumstances IM's between two contacts could be sent to an unintended third contact,' a Skype spokesperson told Engadget. 'We are rolling out a fix for this issue in the next few days and will notify our users to download an updated version of Skype.'"

It's called an open proxy scan, you dipshit
no its not, Skype listens on 443 and port 80 by default, just open your settings in Skype and see under "connections"
if you have a webserver on your gateway then this is where the garbage appears as skype clients try to connect to 80/443 on the public IP before choosing a NAT'ed port
