Why is this a security problem at all? This seems to be an intended behavior that doesn't carry any security risk. If an untrusted person is able to sign on with my Skype account, or access my Skype sessions once logged on, then my security is already compromised. And if such a person is *not* able to do this, then they cannot exploit the "bug" of which you speak. It seems that it would be a useful feature for Skype to provide alerts in both simultaneous sessions telling of what is going on, but I wouldn't call the absence of that feature a "security hole."
A warning message would be very appreciated and appropriate solution. -- Dalibor Straka
