Hi there

As some of you have no doubt heard, the Chinese version of Skype has 
been found to contain a backdoor which logs all IM conversations that 
occur and transmits them up to a server where (no doubt) the Chinese 
authorities classify them, etc.

I for one would like to know how many copies of this version of Skype 
are floating around our network - especially if it's ended up within our 
non-Chinese networks. Can Tenable  use its "checksumming" APIs to detect 
this? And no, I don't have a copy of such a version (yet)

Thanks!
