Skype today announced that it has released an updated version of Skype for Android with a fix for a privacy vulnerability identified a few days ago.
We have had no reported examples of any 3rd party malicious application misusing information from the Skype directory on Android devices and will continue to monitor closely. Please rest assured that we do take your privacy and security very seriously and we sincerely apologise for any concern this issue may have caused.
This new version of Skype for Android also adds a new feature: The ability to make VoIP calls using your phone’s 3G connection is now supported in the US.
You can download the latest version of Skype for Android from the Android Market or directly from Skype.
