Security Issues with Skype

Hi,

just wondered if anyone has looked into and identified any Skype VoIP
security issues, from the P2P perspective as opposed to voice security
perspective.  My understanding is this software is provided by the same
makers as Kazaa, and that the EULA is particularly broad in its context to
authorising third parties to connect to your computer.

If anyone has any experience or thoughts with Skype it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tim
