“‘PRISM has a new collection capability: Skype stored communications,’ a previously confidential NSA memo from 2013 declared. ‘Skype stored communications will contain unique data which is not collected via normal real-time surveillance collection.’ The data includes buddy lists, credit card information, call records, user account data, and ‘other material’ that is of value to the NSA’s special source operations. Microsoft has remained vague about the extent of encryption protecting Skype communications. The memo suggests that those protections are limited, at least as far as buddy lists, credit card data, call records, and user account information are concerned.”
