Anyone on my Skype contacts already knows that I got hacked yesterday. I still have no clue how it happened. I am very very careful, never clicked any of the spam links and I thought ads were off. Also, virus scans from 5 different programs came back clean. It seems every day I get at least 2 or 3 people sending me spam links. Obviously Skype is very broken and dangerous for your system.
Which leads me to my question. Why on earth are we still using it when more stable and safe programs are out there? The only reason I can really think of is stubbornness or just being lazy. My suggestion would be Discord. It has all the good features of Skype and would be perfect for the Discovery community. There are other programs out there as well and I'm open to suggestions. I just think we really really really need to ditch Skype.
