Hi, <br />
<br />
Sorry for delayed response. As far as I know there could be an operational side effect like slow transfers of files. Here is a link to the Skype security blog: <a href="http://blogs.skype.com/security/" rel="ugc">http://blogs.skype.com/security/</a><br />
And here is a link to Skype that contains info on the &quot;super-node&quot; security if you are interested: <a href="http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/security/universities/" rel="ugc nofollow">http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/security/universities/</a>

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
