Bom Sabado hits Orkut



Wow Wow Wow!!! When I logged into my Orkut account today,I noticed some scraps written as 'Bom Sabado' sent from my account to my various friends.Its really shocking how someone can get into Google's social networking website 'Orkut'. It was the second attack on Orkut with the virus called 'Bom Sabado' which steals users passwords and send scraps from their infected profile to the friends in that profile.Bob Sabado means Good Friday.Till now,no official statement has came from Orkut or Google.Even my account also got hacked.
Users are advised not to log into their Orkut account even if their account is not hacked until this problen gets resolved.
But however it has been verified that this was done by some Brazillian hacker.

So here are some safety measures for Orkut users:
1.Don't login into your Orkut account till this problem gets resolved.
2.If very necessary to login & use Orkut,do it from your mobile phone's browser 'coz it run webpages without javascripts.
3.You can also be a victim by just seeing scraps sent from others profile to your account.So its good not to use Orkut for some time.
4.Change your Orkut password from here: Google Accounts.

Stay tuned for more latest updates on this.
