? Skype has turned into a sad likeness and a product that allows you to get full access to your system? Is there any hope?

Sorry, boiling up! Today’s repeated incident of downloading 500+ MB of parasitic traffic in 15–20 minutes, which I did not order, was the final point when I seriously thought about demolishing the messenger, which I used almost from the very beginning of its creation and refuse to use it further. My entire limit of mobile LTE Internet access to 1 GB per day was successfully eaten by Skype, the operator limited the speed to 300 Kbps and you need to wait until the package is updated (you can’t pay and reorder before the deadline without changing the tariff, the 21st century is outside! ). But the reason for my anger is not in this, but in the fact that I am paranoid in the field of security. Skype is now trying to infect me Mac? Track my data? Or are these tricks of hackers who try to hack me through Skype? But in the beginning, before I reveal the facts, I want to remember the history of this mayhem. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. A few years ago, I switched to a Mac, and in turn, a few years ago, Skype switched to Microsoft. What irony! Why, why not Skype was bought by Apple? Or any other company that respects its customers and at least does not make it worse! I'm not saying that it would be nice to do better in general, especially against the background of competition with other messengers, such as Telegram, which is also something to criticize, but my biggest problem is there - I can not copy the text beyond the scrolling area, also conveniently, as in Skype, it is necessary to copy in parts. . Skype can’t fix a bug in : 3r3304.  3r33333.
Researcher Stefan Kensek discovered a serious vulnerability in Microsoft Messenger that allows attackers to gain full access to the victim's operating system. The scheme works on the principle of “hijacking DLL libraries” and redirects the installer of Skype updates to malicious code, rather than to the necessary update files. When installing a new version of Skype uses a separate executive file for its own update component. It is this process that can be easily exploited for malicious purposes. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. An attacker could “hijack” the update process by loading the infected DLL into a temporary folder. A fake library impersonating a system and secure DLL file that a regular user without administrative rights (UXTheme.dll, for example) can edit. The installer first of all detects a malicious DLL and installs the code of the attackers on the victim’s system. It is done. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. The researcher emphasizes that in Windows, you can use several methods of “hijacking DLL libraries”. He also noted that other operating systems, such as macOS and Linux, may also be subject to similar attacks. Vulnerability can be easily exploited for a variety of purposes, and in the case of a successful execution, the hacker gets access to the “Administrator on steroids” level. Thus, he can do anything with the victim's computer. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. Microsoft found out about the security vulnerability back in September last year, but the Software giant decided not to fix this problem, since its treatment would require rewriting a large amount of code inside the application. Instead, Microsoft decided to delay the patch until the release of the new version of Skype, to which it sent all its resources.
3r3304.  3r33333. What is the status of this problem now, I, alas, do not know, but the behavior of Skype is frankly strange and turned on without observation, I no longer leave the messenger. It's a shame that Microsoft did not inform me, as a user, about this problem and I did not even suspect that I could suffer serious losses due to the use of their software. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333.

Crash ratings 3-333253. 3r3304.  3r33333. Not surprisingly, the ratings began to fall, because from a conservative messenger, Microsoft engineers made a semblance of a youth Snapchat, which personally impresses me only by the level of degradation of its users, perhaps because I'm already over 3? or because I highly value every hour of my life. Of course, this could not please those who are accustomed to the old Skype. As a result, in the AppStore, ratings dropped from 3.5 to 1.5 for the United States and from 3 to 1.5 for Russian users. Although the situation in the Play Marker was slightly better in terms of ratings, the decline was also noticeable, despite the fact that unlike the AppStore, it shows the overall rating, and not the average lately. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333.
Is there a future?

3r3304.  3r33333. Microsoft is a very conservative company and was not used to hearing and listening to its users, but as always it is amenable to newfangled trends that have flooded everything that I, fortunately, do not use - Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and other sad because the main problem is Skype It was not at all that it was not possible to impose a mask or send a gif or a personal photo without the ability to save it, but above all in cumbersomeness, glitchiness and sluggishness. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. Of course, Microsoft has the right to destroy Skype, because they bought it. But I, as a user who used it from the very beginning and even paid for a subscription, have the right to express their opinion on this issue and warn Internet users against using the product without proper attention (or using as a whole), because Skype has become not only uncomfortable , but it may well be a threat, given its strange and uncontrollable behavior. And there is simply no chance of getting operational support, as one user said: 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. “You start searching on the website software where to write about glitches and find the answer - write to the community! To the community ! Ohrenitelnaya support, you all burn in hell ”, sometimes, however, comes to the fact that the forums can be found appeals for help even from pensioners: 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. “Understand But, I'm a pensioner, I sit, read, and nothing works! I click on the contact rights. button - does not open, nothing, just do not react! I have been sitting here for more than a week now, I don’t communicate with anyone, and I don’t find a way out. I have a T.viewer, there was no sadness - the devils pumped up /proverb /". 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333. Perhaps, if Microsoft led a slightly different policy towards users, a smaller amount of negative and psychedelic commercials would appear on the Internet, for some reason this product (11 million views) turned out to be one of the most popular ones: 3r3304 .  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333.
3r33320. 3r33320. 3r33320. 3r3304.  3r33333. I am extremely interested in whether someone else encountered a similar problem (uncontrolled siphoning of hundreds of megabytes of traffic), what they managed to figure out and how they decided - share it in the comments, as well as your impressions of the messenger, maybe Microsoft will hear us. 3r3304.  3r33333. 3r3304.  3r33333.
