I had the same issue: Shortly before Skype went completely offline, my Windows Skype client suddenly started crashing every few minutes. The Mac client didn't have that problem.

Some bug in the new version is probably the likeliest explanation, but if someone deliberately attacked the Skype network, it would probably look similar, right?

You're not going to get full client crashes without a major bug. Some amount of attack is possible but I've been getting crashes for a couple weeks now and skype should have fixed things.

...or vice versa. a bug could easily look like an attack.
