"Bom Sabado" Means Good Satuday in Portuguese.
As a blogger I would like to share this information with my fellow bloggers and visitors as any of you or your friends might get affected.
Today in the morning when I firstchecked my orkut profile I had received a scrap called ‘Bom Sabado’.This is a fast spreading virus and may affect many.
The word ‘Bom Sabado’ means Good Saturday in Portuguese and is an orkut virus.It is an XSS(cross site scripting) attack which was last seen in Feb. When this scrap(i.e Bom Sabado) is posted to anyone and when the person opens it, it spreads to all the people on his/her friend list .This virus is a cookie stealing virus .It makes automatic changes in your profile such as updating your status(a Brazilian flag is seen in some cases) and some random communities are added to your profile.
What should You do after being affected by Bom Sabado:
- First of all ,immediately change your password and security question(including secondary email and mobile number if they also got changed).here is a link below https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageAccount?hl=en-US
- Clear your browser history and clean your your browser cookies.
- Also not to click on any suspicious links.
- So avoid logging on to Orkut till Orkut engineers fix the hole problem.
- Orkut officials are currently working on this. Wait for further notices from the Orkut team before logging.
I hope this piece of information may turn out to be helpful to many. Happy blogging.. :-)
