A small number of messages is sent to a third person, usually present in the user's contact list. "Some days ago, a friend of my contact list received some messages that I had received earlier via another contact. It seemed that these messages were sent by me. It's very confusing, "said one of the users. Readers Tecnoblog also reported similar problems.
There is still no official information of how failure occurs. Skype issued a statement saying that the diversion of messages happens only in "rare occasions" and the team is working to repair the defect. "We are releasing a fix for this problem and in the coming days we will notify users to lower an updated version of Skype."
Apparently, the strange behavior of Skype started after the launch of the latest application update in June. Because the service has about 250 million users, even a failure "rare" can become a major privacy issue. Besides being embarrassing.
