"Bom Sabado! " A new worm Hits google's Orkut

A new worm has Hit Google's Orkut early today and its spreading fast, the Infection looks pretty stubborn .

This wierd worm appears to be similar to one that appeared in Dec' 2007 and the people behind are suspected to be the same. A Portuguese Greeter worm

It appears that the communities like "Somente você me COMPLETA!, O virus Que Contagia, ADA - Adoro Dormir Abraçado, Eu tenho um grande AMOR" and few more random Communities

This greets you in the scrap book "Bom Sabado! " which translates to "Good Saturday" in contrast to the earlier on with “2008 vem ai… que ele comece mto bem para vc.” This translates to “2008 is coming…I wish that it begins quite well for you”.
No external links are involved just viewing the scrap spreads the worm. Although no cases of account infringement are noticed yet . This worm look to be having only a intention of fairly "Spamming" with greets.

Once the user views the scrap the account gets infected and runs a Javascript to post the scrap to all persons in the victims contact.
The javascripts look to appear from TPTOOLS (http://tptools.org/)
meanwhile the browser looks to be freezed however the code is executed in the background.
No official reports are out yet in this matter on the statistics and its impact.

The best countermeasure is to stay away from viewing the scrap or use "Noscripts" addon or block the scripts on the browser.

Special investigation: It took just one hour for internet experts to find out almost every private detail of this woman's life

Steve Boggan challenged web experts to see how much they could discover about his partner. The results were chilling...

As I sit writing this, I am feeling vaguely grubby — guilty even — in the way a neurotic husband might after hiring a gumshoe to go trawling through his wife’s secrets.

There is a 15-page report in front of me chronicling virtually every aspect of my girlfriend’s life: past and present.

That includes her friends, education, embarrassing pictures, former boyfriends and long-forgotten relatives.

Much of the information is new to me. And the uses to which it could be put — uses I hadn’t dreamt of until this week — are chilling.

Armed with this information, criminals could use her identity to commit fraud or resurrect minute details of her past, her movements and friendships to lure her into scams or even dangerous liaisons.

It could be used to con her into revealing her bank details and credit card numbers.
