Skype Trojan source code out in the wild

Security

Much like Apple's "There's an App for that" iPhone campaign, it seems these days the script kiddies of the world should have one called "There's a Trojan for that".

Now Skype, that great VOIP and vid conferencing application now gets a trojan of it's own.  Symantec has recently said that it's identified Trojan.Peskyspy and have also found it's source code out on the internet.

The virus itself once on a system with Skype recrods conversations and then uploads to servers in the wild to be reviewed by whomever.  The real problem is that since the source code is out there, there is a great potential for the code to be modified to do far more.
