Skype Android Vulnerability allows people to listen to your conversations

Be very careful guys. There is a bug in Skype for Android that lets other users of the service eavesdrop on your conversations...and might even allow them to see you in the state of undress(Whoops!). The flaw was first noticed by a Reddit user, who already brought the issue to Microsoft
.
What happens is that, when a Skype user begins a call to your Android phone or tablet but immediately hung up before completing the call, Skype automatically callback the individual and then access your microphone and webcam. Once he/she accepts the call they will be able to see everything happening around you---without you having the faintest idea.

The flaw has not been fix yet but Microsoft responded to the Reddit user that it is working to resolve the issue.
