Orkut Attacked by Bom Sabado (Google update in description below)

[madhubani36town]

Google has finally responded through an official forum,they are claiming to have identified the bug that allowed this and have fixed it.

They’re currently working on restoring the affected profiles.

However, few people are claiming for new variants of the worm (such as ORKUT 3XPL0!T5) appear, which suggests that the underlying vulnerability is yet to be plugged.

The worm injects a hidden iframe containing a malicious javascript, which steals the user cookie which contains the password in an encoded form. So the attacker do not get to know your plaintext password but can login using your credentials by impersonating using the cookie to fool the identification system.

Use m.orkut.com to open the non html version of orkut to check your scraps.

This is the mobile version of Orkut which is working.Check the scraps and sadly though u cant delete them.

@MrKeshavnaidu but thats not the issue,issue is that if the hackers have got your password(encrypted) through cookies then you sud change that b4 smething else happens to you

The worm appears to have originated in Brazil, where Orkut is still exceptionally popular. Many of the affected users are noticing the Brazilian flag on their status messages. Additionally, the word ‘Bom Sabado’ means ‘Good Saturday’ in Portuguese, which is the official language of Brazil
