Orkut is affected by scraps titled Bom Sabado!. Heard it is a bug/virus and affecting profiles of many.

I suggest everyone to close your orkut tab for this time until this scriptt get disabled from orkut. Bom Sabado (means Good Friday) is an orkut virus. The same virus has hit Orkut last Feb also.

Bom Sabado is a cookie stealing virus. Those who are affected by this virus try to change their password as soon as possible and also clean your browser cookies.

1. DONOT visit any profile on Orkut till this scriptt is blocked ( More preciously DONOT use Orkut till this is blocked, as you can get affected by Flash scraps posted on your SB too! )

2. Clear your cookies and cache right away and change your password and security question :

3. Let your friends know about this scriptt and make them aware of the situation. ( It’s just an effort to minimize the damage ).

A PORTUGUESE HACKER HACKED THE WHOLE ORKUT SERVER. A SCRAP CALLED "BOM SABADO" (PORTUGUESE. ENGLISH MEANING- GOOD SATURDAY). COMES INTO YOUR PROFILE &THEN IS FORWARDED TO ALL THE YOUR FRIENDS. YOUR ACCOUNT JOINS FILTHY ORKUT BRAZILIAN COMMUNITIES. AND THEN YOUR ACCOUNT HOME ......PAGE BECOMES INACTIVE. ...ALL YOU CAN DO IS TO, SIT AND WATCH YOUR A/C GETTING SCREWED!!

One thing i notice in Gmail that the window of web page at left top corner, the link of orkut is not being displayed...

I also saw that trojan scraps & automatically added brazilian communities.. but when i switched over to old orkut mode and deleted those scraps & communities, I got normal orkut as earlier...

so, as a safety measure.. change ur password (choose a password which is not the password of any other websites.. choose a different password so that atleast other site's id will remain safe..)... and delete all those communities first & then scraps...
