Just few days after the microblogging site Twitter was attacked by virus which sent its followers to porn sites, another popular networking hub Orkut is also affected by virus. Orkut, which is very popular in India, has been hit by a worm named 'Bom Sabado',which means 'Good Saturday' in Portuguese. Analysts told that the virus attacked the XSS (cross-site scripting) of the site. This virus posted scraps to the Orkut users with the text BomSabado and is sent to the users account by the name of the other friends account. Making it more severe the worm also adds affected users to new Orkut groups.
The security experts warned the users not to not log into their Orkut account until the
problem gets solved. Users are also advised not to click on any suspicious links.
