Skype Haunted by Crypto Scammers, Microsoft on the Case
Skype users are caught in a digital nightmare as they face a relentless onslaught of spam notifications from cryptocurrency scam groups. The issue, which began about a week ago, persists despite Microsoft's awareness and efforts.
The Problem:
- Users are bombarded with up to 100 spam notifications per minute.
- Blocking the offending groups proves futile as the ghost notifications persist.
- The issue affects users across all platforms, including iPhones, Androids, Windows PCs, and Macs.
- Reinstalling Skype or switching devices hasn't exorcised these digital demons.
The Impact:
- Users are frustrated and unable to use Skype without being bombarded by scams.
- The constant notifications disrupt workflow and peace of mind.
- Some users have resorted to disabling all Skype notifications, sacrificing legitimate communication.
Microsoft's Response:
- The tech giant has acknowledged the problem and is actively investigating a solution.
- However, there's no estimated time of arrival for a fix.
The Takeaway:
For now, Skype users are left at the mercy of these persistent crypto scammers. This incident highlights the vulnerability of online platforms and the constant struggle against malicious actors. We can only hope Microsoft's investigation leads to a swift and effective solution, allowing users to reclaim their digital peace.
