Recently some of my friend’s updates showed a mysterious link titled New Orkut Version (Don’t ever click it !). I thought they only kept like that. But it was not true. Almost 30 profiles in my friends list have been taken over or hacked. Yesterday one of my Orkut friend told me he has the feeling that his Orkut profile has been hacked or taken over. He has some problems like automatic status bar update and addition of unknown Orkut Communities. If your Orkut account has been taken over, feel free to report to Orkut regarding it. It helps ! The best way to avoid such troubles is to avoid or never provide your login information to sites other than in www.orkut.com For further info read this : http://www.hellboundbloggers.com/security/protect-your-orkut-account
