Orkut phishing websites-beware!

These days I have noticed a few url’s like http://watch-my-new-pics.tk/ and http://want-some-sex.tk/ on the profile updates of some of my friends. When I clicked on that url, I was shocked to see the page that resembles the ORKUT login page.

These are PHISHING WEBSITES. These websites ask for your orkut user name and password and it also have the feature to check whether the username we entered is valid  or not. So we will be able to login only if we enter the correct orkut user name and password. THEY ARE SOO CLEVER. I also noticed that, if were already logged-in to gmail and goto this website, it will automatically grabs our username and ask for the password. They might be using the cookies!

My friends accounts got hacked, and the hackers login to their account and entered these url’s on their profile to get more victims. But I beleive that they will keep the passwords unchanged. I dont know!

If anyone has got into this phishing, please change your orkut/gmail password ASAP to avoid any kind of misuses. And hereafter please DO NOT enter your gmail/orkut username and password on any other sites with a different url. When you enter the same , make sure that you have the correct url of orkut/gmail on your address bar.
