Skype will stop working on May 5, Microsoft recently announced. The service has been active for 20 years.

According to sources from the parent company, the login information will be available to users of the phone and video calling platform in the free level of Microsoft Teams in the “coming days”.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Skype gained customers, which has continued until now, due to the quarantine that led people to confinement and turned the service into the contact tool between families.

However, it has lost popularity and use in recent years due to the market consolidation of competition from Zoom, Google Meet and Cisco WebEx, as well as, of course, Apple’s FaceTime and Meta’s WhatsApp.

The number of cybercrime has increased in a worrying way in Venezuela, according to the director of the Scientific, Criminal and Criminal Investigations Corps, Douglas Rico.

During a television interview on November 7, Rico highlighted that cybercriminals use common but improved methods to attract their victims, such as fraudulent messages and phone calls.

The CICPC is working to reduce cybercrime, which, according to the official, has been increasing since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Rico warns citizens to be alert to any suspicious call in which they are asked for personal data, bank accounts and other applications, since they could violate their privacy.

If in doubt, Rico advises not to provide information and if you are the victim of a cyberscam, go and file a complaint with the CICPC.
