Some malware is designed to keep people communicating, under heavy watch; it is not always designed to abuse a system the "traditional" manner befitting script kiddie botnets. What steps do you normally take to mitigate Skype exploitation that leverages 0day and then dumps say, FinFisher on your system? That is - how would they notice and if they were being logged, how would *you* notice on your end?
