Well - I guess we should always think before we click on any link
From the article:
There are nefarious links being spread around through Skype, and if you click them you will be presented with a lot of adware.
The attacker was trying to call with a username that also contains a link to a domain, www.viewror[d]com. Once clicked, a voice directs the user to click the download link and install a "proprietary" video player in order to play the video.
The researchers contacted Microsoft as well as Amazon, which was hosting some of the domains where the attacks and spam were coming from.
Together, the two companies are disrupting this scheme by nuking the Skype accounts involved and going after the IP addresses used.
