Florian Kunushefci is 19-year-old from Kosovo who has managed to find a weakness in Skype, and what Microsoft had then contacted to eliminate this weakness.
An error in Skype could give access to Android phones by bypassing the code, with which various data could be used as photos, contacts, and even opening some browser windows.
The Kuushef for Time.net suggests how he contacted Microsoft, who has already eliminated this problem.
I first reported it on October 22nd in Microsoft and I received the first answer on October 23rd. The reported weakness took time until it was adjusted, and on December 23rd this weakness no longer exists”, Kunushefci indicated.
He shows how he discovered this weakness.
I had a feeling that there was something wrong with an app that gave me more function than needed. Since I've noticed this, I've started to think differently from a simple user, where after that I've researched and found that it's possible to get to the part of Android's "authentication," he said of Koha.net.
He stresses that this weakness more belongs to Skype, while waiting to be rewarded by “Hall of Family” among other hackers.
I think this weakness is more of Skype because during the construction of the app, safety measures are not presupposed to avoid access to certain parts. The weakness I have reported to Microsoft and is expected since mid-January to be rewarded with "Hall of Fame" among other hackers reported in Skype”, he said.
