My wife got messages that appeared to be from our son. It’s obvious from lengthy threads on Skype support forums that it’s happening to many hundreds of people at least, but I suspect it’s more widespread than that. The steps to stop the hack are described below. If someone tells you that they received a link through Skype that appeared to be from you, your Skype account has been hacked. The ones I’ve seen have been disguised as a fake Forbes web page. Baidu is a Chinese search engine, roughly the Chinese equivalent of Google the link does not actually take you to a website run by Baidu but instead will redirect you to a malware site. The link will take you to a phishing site that attempts to install malware. The message will appear to come from someone you know but it’s not – it’s just the bad guys with their latest exploit. There's also a new three-day view that lets users see a quick side-by-side look at any three days on the calendar.Īndroid users got a little extra love with this update, which gives them a quick navigation bar at the bottom of the app that lets them quickly navigate between the different mail, contacts, calendar and files tabs inside the app.If you get a link to a website with “Baidu” in the name sent through the Skype messaging system, don’t click on the link. Users can now see their full schedule at a glance by scrolling up or down on the two-week view that's in the calendar screen. Outlook's calendar view also received a number of improvements, as the product team works to integrate the features of Sunrise Calendar into the app before closing down that dedicated application.
The updates come on the heels of Microsoft announcing earlier this week that it will be rolling out free video conferencing to all users of the Skype mobile apps. When creating an event in Google Calendar, there's a "create video call" button that allows users to spawn a meeting link through Google Hangouts that works in much the same way as the Skype link. The improvement isn't all that surprising, given what Google has done with its own calendar invites. When the time comes, people who are supposed to participate just need to tap on the Skype link, and the video chat app will open up on their devices.įor those people who don't have a Skype app installed, Microsoft's recently released Skype for Web will let them join in on the call, even if they don't have Skype accounts. The updates, which rolled out Wednesday, let users tap a Skype call toggle inside the app's event creation screen, which will automatically generate a link to a video conference for invitees.
Outlook users who need to cook up a video conference will have an easier time with new updates Microsoft announced for the app on iOS and Android.
