Attention! All the Orkut Users Read This carefully....
Bom Sabado!, which mean 'Good Saturday' in Portuguese, striked the orkut accounts which keeps on sending the scrap called 'Bom Sabado!' to the orkut users. Those scraps will pretend us as they were came from the friend list of ours and it comes just like any other normal and regular Orkut scraps. It is not clear yet what actually is happening around.
'We checked our orkut accounts and found the same' says some users through different internet sources. The list of Bom Sabado! scraps are flooding into our scrapbox. Here is an image given below to just give an idea of it.
The worm seems to be posting scraps with the text "Bom Sabado" and also adding affected users to new Orkut groups. Such XSS attacks have targeted Orkut in the past too.
Experts have advised users to avoid logging on to Orkut till Orkut engineers fix the hole and also not to click on any suspicious links. Orkut had just last month announced new updates to the website.
Earlier this week, the popular microblogging website Twitter was also at the receiving end of an XSS exploit. The attack, which emerged and was shut down within hours Tuesday morning, involved a XSS flaw that allowed users to run JavaScript programs on other computers.
Unless we get the proper confirmation from the orkut team, we are unable to say what actually is this bug or error and what it will result in? But it does seems like a lot of members are getting this message in their scraps.
