Skype communications protocol possibly cracked

A blog following VoIP developments is reporting on a personal
experience with what appears to be the first third-party Skype client.
The blog post describes an unreliable but working connection made from
China to a standard Skype client in the US, along with supporting
evidence such as the (obviously modified) screenshot below.

Combine this with the demo posted a while ago about how to use Skype
to create an encrypted communication channel for your botets and we
may have a problem
