Beware of Your Orkut Updates

My usual routine once when I open my computer is to check my accounts like Triond, Orkut, Gmail, Yahoo, etc… Today when I opened my Orkut account, I was shocked to see the “Updates” from my husband’s account. It showed like “Check out my sexy photos here : XXXXblogspot”. I immediately called him and showed him the message. He too was shocked and surprised.

The message was posted at our time 5AM in the morning, that is when we were at sleep. We thought his account might have been hacked. But then when he tried to open his account, he was able to do it. So he immediately removed the message from his updates and posted an apology message to all his friends.

Now I remember one thing. Few days before, one of my friend’s account too showed such a message. Since that friend was just an Orkut friend and as I don’t know him personally, I estimated him as a cheap fellow and removed from my friends list immediately. It could be a virus or some notorious fellow doing on your behalf.

Keep a watch on your account, as it may spoil your image among friends and sometimes may make you to loose them forever.
