Hi Folks,  Orkut, a social networking website owned by Google was attacked by  “Bom Sabado virus “on Saturday, 25th September. The virus spreads as soon as you log into your Orkut account. It starts sending scraps and messages to the people in a person’s friends list, aiding in spreading the virus even further. Bom Sabado virus has already infected a huge number of profiles on Orkut (5 million Orkut accounts), and is continuously spreading as you read this article. People are advised not to log into their Orkut account(s). If you have already logged in then you must change your password through www.google.com/accounts/ instead of www.orkut.com. Bom Sabado is a Portuguese word and translate to ‘Good Saturday’ in English. Scraps with the message “2008 vem ai… que ele comece mto bem para vc” are being spread on Orkut and if a person tries to see the scrap their computer can get infected with the virus. The virus does the following: * Stealing their cookies (big security threat). * Logging them out and redirecting them to a fake page. * Logging them out and redirecting them to a page which automatically installs keylogger, viruses in their computer system.
