Skype was also horribly insecure and leaked your IP which was a cause of a lot of folks in esports getting DDoS'd from it[0].

Skype resolvers definitely still worked post Microsoft acquisition.

I remember this being a problem after Microsoft acquired it. You didnt even need to call someone to get their IP. You just needed a username.
