ArenaBoost.com -Hacked our skype, spammed everyone with fraud link

[SpecializedMMO]

Dear Epic MMO Community,

We are posting here to let everyone know that our skype was breached due to it being ridiculously easy to get a hold of someone's skype info. This is a security problem on MICROSOFT's end, not ours.

We have successfully retrieved our account; however, arenaboost.com managed to spam 1000+ customers with fraud information and trying to receive money from people. We are working with paypal and authorities to put these people where they belong.

Thank you, if you need any help and you have been scammed, please contact us as soon as possible

Thank you for the warning. Hopefully you have regained control of your Skype account again.

We did not regain control of the Skype, however, we were able to get them to terminate the account. However, they are now posting fake reviews on all websites claiming that we sold things to people at different email through our skype.

We contacted PayPal and they assured us that they would refund payments to anyone that was scammed.

For anyone out there, never use a Skype that is connected to an email that is easily guessed. Additionally, use AIM as a method of communication. It's way too easy to gain control of a Skype account.

I've been saying it for a year or so now. Skype is worthless imo. You have to call everyone up. Vent, mumble, ts, etc are all way easier to use and you don't have this issue.

Most of the DDoS attacks on league players are through skype
