Skype tells users to feel the love

The company denied it is under attack, and said: "The Skype system has not crashed or been victim of a cyber attack. We love our customers too much to let that happen. The problem occurred because of a deficiency in an algorithm within Skype networking software. This controls the interaction between the user's own Skype client and the rest of the Skype network."

Skype has also prevented new users from downloading its client software.

Coincidentally, there's a Denial of Service exploit doing the rounds that calls Skype phone numbers thousands of letters long an infinite number of times.

We wonder if they could be in any way related? µ
