A trojan malware called Skype.Peskyspy has been discovered by scurity researchers to be able to record Skype calls and stores them as an mp3 file for later transmission. The trojan injects a dll component into a Skype process and then hooks the “send” and “recv” APIs in Skype to the Trojan’s own custom functions, according to web security firm Sophos. This allows the trojan to extract and save the audio and video data and send it back to the sender of the trojan. Although Skype secures the data while it’s being transmitted between callers, the Trojan can intercept the data at the sender or receiver end. The trojan is being spread via email links and social engineering attacks in spam emails and messages, according to the Tech Herald.
