Skype Resolvers are a way of finding out one's IP, or the last known IP of any Skype user. This is a huge privacy issue as this can attract very immature children who think it's alright to use other people's DDoS services to DDoS your Internet without knowing a line of code. How do they get is IP? They use a Skype Resolver. Once they have my IP, they can just merely pay for a "shell booter" or "DDoS service" and cause downtime for an unlimited amount of time until your IP is changed.

Call on Microsoft to patch this!
