Can Google be hacked by Skype extn in Chrome?

Hi, I've been trying to get a response on various forums across the web without success. If this is a stupid question then I don't mind being told so.
About a week ago my Gmail reported unusual activity from an IP address not normally associated with it's use. Google reported this as being in Luxembourg (I reside in the UK) further investigation by me showed this as being used in Tallinin, Estonia. I took the usual precautions & changed my password immediately.
This is where Skype comes in. On the report that Google provide about activity on Gmail, normally the type of access (browser or e-mail client) was "unknown". The column that contained the Estonian IP address had an entry skype.net followed by the IP.
24 hours earlier I had downloaded the Skype client which in turn also installed the Chrome extension. I have disabled the extension & have not used the client for calling, other than to login to my account - I have also changed the password for my Skype account.
Is it possible that someone using their browser with the Skype extension could hack my Gmail account?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have Office for Mac installed.  The information on the web specifically said the Virus could not affect Macs.  See link:

I am just trying to confirm if this is the case.

  • Is it possible hacking for skype video chat?

    Hi, need to know.. is it possible to hack the skype video chat..? bcase i could see lots of conversion regarding this.. could you pls. help me.. how safte skype video chat..?

    No, I'm not aware of any webcams that are compatible with the first gen iPad. You can still use Skype, but the person with the first gen iPad won't be seen by the other person, they'll just get audio

  • CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER A...

    CAN I BUY A PANASONIC SKYPE READY BLU RAY PLAYER AND USE LOGITECH SKYPE CAMERA TOGETHER? ARE THEY COMPATIBLE? OR DO PANASONIC PLAYERS ONLY WORK WITH PANASONIC WEB CAMERAS ON SKYPE?

    Following 2 yrs of thread here and just having been given a new Panasonic BD110 3d Blu Ray with a Skype button on its remote, DNLA, built in WiFi, ethernet, BBC i-Player, YouTube etc.  I set it up and went thru BluRays, DVD's, HDMI, sound etc.   I was impressed, so I bought a decent webcam and plugged it in - nothing happened.   Read the manual, did everything spot on, nothing!  Pana's web site, Skype, Bing, Google, customer "support", confusion all round.
    It seems Panasonic don't now sell either of their own cameras (discontinued? binned? still supported? forgotten? hoping we'll forget) - but the Blu Ray/Skype models are still for sale.  If this concept had been made to work, it would have been world beating!!  Otherwise a recall and refund or upgrade offer should be made.   There's been no apology or explanation that I can find.
    This is a scandal from such a reputedly "high end" manufacturer that makes stuff for hospitals even!!   And it has published DNLA and other approvals that clearly are not true.
    I'll be in touch with Panasonic again and try escalating the issue, though it seems Japan knows about it and are keeping quiet in the hope the problem will fizzle out.   We should individually contact the technical press and their web sites and also raise Caine under a Trade Descriptions breach.   Making a warranty claim is fully justified too.
    We don't know how many they sold and how many want that feature but I'll bet many thousands were made.  So if a big enough bunch of us complain we should be able to make life uncomfortable for the idiots who failed us, their own employees, some important business partners, the Standards folks, and the poor souls who have to speak to us on the phone or across the Argos & Curry's counters.

  • Can't open links in Skype, WLM nor saved HTML (Firefox won't respond)

    "I can't open links in Skype chat windows when having a Firefox session running in the background, it just flashes the window borders. If i close Firefox and leftclick on the links Firefox automatically opens the link but not while having a session running in the background. Strange thing while having clicked the link and started a new Firefox session it opens the tabs as usual while clicking the links the next few times but closing Firefox again and restarting it and then click on links in Skype window, it doesn't respond. I have to bring the context menu and then choose copy adress."
    I see there is no answer for the problem that guy have had and I have the same problem - links from skype and from windows live mail won't open and there's more - FF doesn't open html files that are saved to pc, even thou I just saved em, but when I click on em happens nothing and when I rightclick and choose open with FF happens nothing.
    It worked for couple of weeks with no problem and suddenly today links just make skype flash exactly as in christianhbergs description and in windows live mail they are becoming purple but firefox doesn't react.
    as soon as I make IE as my default - links are working, but not with firefox.
    So I assume the problem is in firefox (not in skype or WLM nor in Win8)
    (running Win8 and FF25.0)
    And none of the solutions you gave us in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961242#answer-497345 work.

  • Can I set up a Skype to go number for myself?

    Can I set up a Skype To Go number in Canada for myself and then give it to friends, family, clients etc. to call me? I just learned Skype doesn't have any Canadian numbers. I'm a Skype video conference subscriber. I probably wouldn't have signed with Skype if I knew they didn't service Canada properly.

    Hello,
    1. Yes this is possible in a limited way. You would need to register each of your family/friends/clients' phones in your Skype To Go program. Only those who are registered could dial your Canadian STG number and have it ring on your Skype or on your phone. You wouldn't be able to give out the number at random because STG will ask for verification if a non-registered phone calls the number.
    2. Unfortunately the Online # program can't be introduced in Canada until the Canadian telco authorities issue the necessary licenses.

    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

    Subject/title amended accordingly.

    Hi, Davidann, and welcome to the Community!
    I arranged to transfer your post here to the Features: Skype Number message board as your enquiry is not related specifically to the BlackBerry Z10.  If you type the words "Skype Number for Canada" in the Search the Community search box appearing at the upper right corner of this website page, you will find a plethora of threads (topics) related to this issue.
    The short story is this is due to a regulatory issue in Canada.
    Kind regards,

    Just to confirm the method you are using - open the Applications folder, locate Skype, drag it to the Trash, empty Trash. Does this not work?

  • I can't log in into Skype from my computer!!

    I've been having some problems with my computer lately, and now Skype is having problems
    I want to log in, because it is urgent to have a chat via Skype, but I can't! I start up the program, then put my correct username and password, but when I press enter, it doesn't log in, then I click on the "Sign me in" button, but it doesn't respond. The complete screen, except for the text boxes, are like frozen
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled it, but with no success. I've ran all scans with my antivirus and anti-malware programs, restarted my computer, but nothing, I can't log in...
    Please, help me
    It is urgent I log in from my own computer.
    Solved!

    Is there any way to contact Skype Support? I didn't manage to find it.
    Thanks again.
    The problem is with your Internet Explorer and JavaScript. The new login screen, introduced with Skype 5.5 version, is not working on computers where Internet Explorer and javaScript are not functioning properly. This procedure will enable the old login screen, which does not require Internet Explorer:
    Quit Skype. Make sure that you don’t see any Skype.exe processes in Windows Task Manager. If necessary, then stop these processes. Open C:\Program Files\ folder. If you have 64-bit Windows then it should be C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder. Find the Skype folder and then Phone. Right click on the Skype.exe file and select: Send to – Desktop (create shortcut). Right click on the newly created shortcut and select Properties and then the Shortcut tab. In the Target field you will see now: "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" (or with (x86) if you are on 64-bit Windows). Click with your mouse on the text in the Target field and move your curser one space after the last quotation sign and add the text /legacylogin. The text in the Target field should now read:
    "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /legacylogin
    Click OK to save the changes. Start Skype using this new shortcut. Can you now login to Skype?
    Note, that this is a temporary solution only, because some other options, as e.g. Add a contact, may still not be working in Skype.
