yep mine was hacked too :-( should have enabled noscript. from what i gather its a cross site scripting hack that enabled those miscreants to steal the session cookies and yes this is OS independent and it doesnt even require you to actively click the link. as long as you are logged in to orkut home page the scraps will be sent from your profile and you will joined into some porno communities as well. if you get get a notification of such scrap from u r friends in your mail, do not open orkut to check your scrap. however if you are already hit, immediately close the browser tab/window, empty your browser cookies and history. login to
https://www.google.com/accounts/ and reset your password and security question as soon as possible, and dont open orkut until the issue is solved last i checked on support forums of google, the google engineers seems to have contained the issue and are doing damage control some two weeks back twitter too was compromised, facebook has come under such attacks. its one of the vagaries of social networking or rather internet On Sep 25, 3:12 pm, BINNY THOMAS <[email protected]> wrote: > Yup mine got hacked! and in Linux![?][?][?][?] > > 33A.gif > < 1KViewDownload -- "Freedom is the only law".
