Orkut Virus 'Bom Sabado' hit Scrapbooks
Saturday, 25 September 2010
[Orkut_Virus_Bom_Sabado]
In a shocking development this morning, a virus or malicious worm called 'Bom Sabado' hit millions of scrapbooks of Orkut users in India. 'Bom Sabado' means 'Good Saturday' in Portuguese.
When users opened the scrapbooks to read the messages, they automatically get linked to several "suspicious" communities or sites with pornographic content.
It has been advised not to use Orkut, delete the cookies from your PC and change the login passwords till Orkut officials come up with an announcement that the 'Bom Sabado' worm has been removed.
This is not the first time Orkut experienced such virus attacks. It's an irony that they are still unable to upgrade their security system to such a level that will counter any such worm attacks.
