[www.keralites.net] Orkut attacked by 'Bom Sabado' worm




...Join Keralites, Have fun & be Informed.

Orkut has been affected by a Virus called Bom Sabado.

It is a script that generates a scrap and floods the friend list of the affected orkut user account holder with the "Bom Sabado" messages.There is a chance that orkut may have been hacked.
This is the second XSS (cross-site scripting) attack on Orkut, which is one of the most effective networking sites on the net.
The word "Bom sabado" means "good friday" in portuguese.
Best thing to do is not to use orkut account for the time being . Also, if you are infected already, please take the following precautions:

  • Switch to the older version
  • log out of the orkut account.
  • Clean cookies from your browser
  • Log in again and change your password and the security question
  • you may want to run an antivirus
  • Share the news, let your friends know�
