It appears some of our users have been subject to phishing emails - if you have received an email that appears to be from Skype, please DO NOT enter your username and password as the result of this email.

Also, as a consequence of this, skype.com's mail servers are currently down (we are subject to a flood of bounced emails from emails that do not exist as a result of the phishing emails) - this means our customer support is not currently contactable.

We are doing our best to resolve this situation as quickly as we can and will post updates here as soon as we have them. Please bear with us during while work on solving this.

UPDATE: We are happy to let you know that our mail servers are back up, customer support is available and the phishing sites associated with this incident are no longer active. As a reminder, we strongly encourage users to be cautious when responding to any email that requests sensitive personal information.
