Hi there
As some of you have no doubt heard, the Chinese version of Skype has
been found to contain a backdoor which logs all IM conversations that
occur and transmits them up to a server where (no doubt) the Chinese
authorities classify them, etc.
I for one would like to know how many copies of this version of Skype
are floating around our network - especially if it's ended up within our
non-Chinese networks. Can Tenable use its "checksumming" APIs to detect
this? And no, I don't have a copy of such a version (yet)
Thanks!
