Seems something is seriously going wrong in Web these days. Since Twitter guys revealed the new version of Twitter out, it got attacked by cross site scripting. Due to some reasons we were not able to cover the news, but our friend Shivendu covered it on his blog, you can check it out – here. The error was something like that – whenever a user mouse hovered a link, it displayed a pop-up window, which would redirect to spam, porn sites. Though Twitter experts solved the problem within a half hour, but it created a bizarre buzz, not just among it’s users, but always among some News Channels.

Today, same repeated again, but this time on – Orkut. Just like Twitter, Orkut also introduced its new version just a week ago and today it got hit by an attack so-called, “Bom Sabado” which means “Good Saturday” in Portuguese. Well, there is no official news from Google’s side yet, but some popular Indian News channels like IBN Live covered it.

Bom Sabado

If rumors are to believed it spammed many profiles and added new affected user to Google groups too and the worst thing is it is still live.

Well, no body knows the reason behind this may be the hackers are now targeting the social hubs and sites, which are releasing or testing a new version. I would say, they are best out find the loop holes.

Tip: Before clicking on any link just check whether the link is safe or not.
