skype ip addressSkype now hides its users’ IP addresses by default, since surfing the Internet can sometimes be an unpleasant activity, with some annoying people focusing on other users to make their life harder. Skype lately decided to make cyber bullying a lot more complicated than before, so Skype ip address finder is disabled by default.

The system is probably the most used video calling and chatting platform on the planet. Microsoft purchased the service five years ago and the support is offered for Windows, Linux and Mac computer, besides BlackBerry, Android and iOS mobile gadgets, such as mobile phones or tablets.

The company has presented a series of developments for Skype after the acquisition, allowing more customers be a part of the support. This week, its officials declared that the Android application will allow people to schedule their calls and access Microsoft company Office files with ease.

The chatting platform is including a new standard security function mainly to protect players from their angry competitors. This Microsoft-owned app recently said that it would begin hiding clients’ IP info by default for the newest upgrade to Skype.

Formerly, a Skype customer’s IP was not concealed, meaning that online hackers who already knew about it could quickly obtain people’s IP addresses and thus focus on their computers. Playing games on the Internet can be a serious problem or some users.

It is sometimes so severe that individuals who lose important online fights or games can look for vengeance. One simple way to achieve this is to release a targeted hack that will let their competitors off-line.

Before releasing a hacking attempt, however, users need to target the IP address and that was fairly simple if people knew your Skype’s personal details. Hackers do not even have to be IT professionals, since many sites known as ‘resolvers’ guaranteed to expose a  client’s IP address.

The problem of finding IP details via Skype is known for a very long period. Experts have noticed weaknesses enabling online hackers to acquire a person’s IP address through Skype even since 2010. However, only two years later several reviews about getting a Skype customer’s IP address got the online community’s interest.

To make sure that Skype is concealing the IP addresses by default first see that you are utilizing the newest edition of the program for PC and cellular devices. This app can be downloaded straight from Skype’s official site to your computer, then select Help and Check for Up-dates to see when an upgrade is available. On the other hand, mobile customers can acquire updates from the specific app stores.
