    Fairly secure but nothing is completely secure to a determined hacker. http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/security/

    Rule of thumb for the internet - If it is on the internet or passes through the internet, it is on a server somewhere.

    No

    Well yes, but that would mean never using skype :)

    its very secure. its not easy to eavesdrop on voip calls. skype is using 256 bit AES encryption, and all skype-to-skype calls are encrypted. if you make a call that goes through the pstn, that part is not encrypted, all according to their website.

    cant find anything about if skype actually logs calls on their servers though.
