What
if when you sent a message to someone, it had a very good chance of
going to someone else in your contact list? That would be pretty scary
right? That what some Skype users are reporting.
The bug was first discussed
in Skype’s user forums, and seems to have followed a June 2012 update
of the Skype software. Skype has confirmed the bug existence and that a
fix is in the works. However, the company characterizes the bug as
“rare.”
Purchased by Microsoft last year
for $8.5 billion, the Luxemburg company which has as many as 40 million
people using its service at a time during peak periods, explained that
messages sent between two users were in limited cases being copied to a
third party, but did not elaborate further on the matter.
Five other individuals of the
Microsoft-owned program confirmed they were also seeing instant messages
being sent to the wrong person from their contact list. Sometimes it's
just a few messages, while other times it's a whole conversation.
Skype has, on its blog,
confirmed the issue of a bug sending instant messages to wrong contacts
and has promised a fix. Addressing the issue, Skype wrote, "Based on
recent Skype customer forum posts and our own investigation over the
past couple of days, we have identified a bug that we are working hard
to fix."
