[technology taskforce] Skype Virus: Need for an Advisory

[Satish Babu]

Dear Dev and friends
I had a request from Maureen on a Skype-based malware that sent a spam link
to her entire contact list...a very embarrassing situation...

It appears to be the one referred to here:
https://blog.malwarebytes.com/cybercrime/2015/09/steer-clear-of-this-skype-spam/

The actual spam message sent by the malware is as follows (with the
recipient's name in the end):

http://www.baidu.com/link?url=re04XeZ54BcvMs5I6_h3T8T9xfWdghVSpFxRxyoq3zW#jqybyqoc=pentaceros

Would it be possible for TTF (once the Hyderabad rush is over), to send out
an Advisory for At-Large on how to avoid this malware ?
