Mess in orkut

Google owned social networking site Orkut has been reportedly attacked by “Bom Sabado” worm on September 25th, 2010.

In Portugese, “Bom Sabado” means “Good Saturday”.

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.

Bom Sabado Orkut virus infected profiles are automatically posting virus scraps on to the other’s scrapbooks.

A near watching of Bom Sabado scrap in your scrapbook or in your friends’ scrapbooks is more than enough to get your account hacked.
Google has identified the bug that allowed this and have fixed it on September 26th, 2010.
