While it is
If you get such a message in your orkut scrapbook, please do not reply to that scrap as it executes the script.
I'd also strongly advise everyone to change their Password.
Update 1: Here's some technical information which says this is an XSS attack.
Update 2: Here's what you should do to protect against this virus (information from talking to a friend in Google):
- If you are using Firefox and are using Adblock, add "*virus.js" to the list of filters. That should block the script from running.
- Change your "Google Account" password.
- You may have been temporarily banned by Orkut. This is a standard response by the system as it detected you sending a scrap to all your contacts. Don't worry. Just stay away from Orkut form 5 to 6 hours and re-login back. You should see a new group called "Infectados pelo Vírus do Orkut" (that's also Portuguese, if you were wondering) appear in your "communities". Unjoin from that group. If you can't just wait for 5-6 hours and retry.
- Just to be sure, run a virus scan of your computer.
Dude,
