Submission + - Hacked Skype IP address search launched (scmagazine.com.au)

mask.of.sanity writes: An online search portal has been launched that reveals the IP addresses of any Skype user.

The portal needs only a Skype username entered in a search bar for it to produce the IP address of a target user.

It then uses IP addresses to geo-locate users on a map and reveal their ISP information.
