I noticed my Skype suddenly started crashing when trying to login. I found the fix on Omgubuntu.

The fix worked for me.

No doubt the conspiracy theorists will be out of the woodwork shortly.

The NSA server-side plug-in failed. It's supposed to scan and log conversations transparently, but they're having issues with the load apparently.

Why? I don't see anything to come to the conclusion that it's a conspiracy.

A small number of you may have had problems signing in to Skype. This predominantly affects people using Skype for Windows. We have identified the problem and will issue a fix in the next few hours.

That and as noted in the third post, this affects all platforms.
