And that means they could potentially intercept a lot more of them." "Even if Microsoft is only scanning links for 'good' purposes, say detecting malicious URLs, this indicates that they can intercept some of your text messages. "The problem right now is that there's a mismatch between the privacy people expect and what Microsoft is actually delivering," Matt Green, a professor specializing in encryption at Johns Hopkins University, told Ars. This is clearly not the case if Microsoft has the ability to read URLs transmitted back and forth. Still, there's a widely held belief-even among security professionals, journalists, and human rights activists-that Skype somehow offers end-to-end encryption, meaning communications are encrypted by one user, transmitted over the wire, and then decrypted only when they reach the other party and are fully under that party's control. It stands to reason that messages traveling over centralized networks may be easier to monitor. In short, the decentralization that had been one of Skype's hallmarks was replaced with a much more centralized network. Gone are the peer-to-peer "supernodes" made up of users with sufficient amounts of bandwidth and processing power in their place are some 10,000 Linux machines hosted by Microsoft. And as Ars reported last year, since Skype was acquired by Microsoft, the network running the service has been drastically overhauled from its design of the preceding decade. Skype's privacy policy clearly states that it may (emphasis added) use automated scanning within Instant Messages and SMS to identify spam and links to sites engaged in phishing and other forms of fraud. In one sense, this shouldn't come as news. The results-which were similar but not identical to those reported last week by The H Security-prove conclusively that Microsoft not only has ability to peer at the plaintext sent from one Skype user to another, but that the company regularly flexes that monitoring muscle. For those interested in the technical details, the log line looked like this: '65.52.100.214 - "HEAD /index.html?test_never_clicked HTTP/1.1" 200 -' Two of them were never clicked on, but the other two-one beginning in HTTP link and the other HTTPS-were accessed by a machine at 65.52.100.214, an IP address belonging to Microsoft. With the help of independent privacy and security researcher Ashkan Soltani, Ars used Skype to send four Web links that were created solely for purposes of this article. And this can only happen if Microsoft can convert the messages into human-readable form at will. The Microsoft-owned service regularly scans message contents for signs of fraud, and company managers may log the results indefinitely, Ars has confirmed.
