Darnell over at Inside Orkut doubted if the Orkut security was hacked as we experienced immediate deletion of many hate communities in a very short span of time. The doubt grew more prominent when news broke out that Orkut's First community " Stanford University" was deleted. After a brief span, the Stanford community was restored.
But a shocking thriller came from the inside sources that it was a most probable case that more of the Orkut Admins were hacked. Orkut Administrative Section has some employees called Customer Experience Representative's and other content monitoring staff. It is highly possible that some people have acquired access to details using social engineering techniques like cookie stealing and phishing. As an example : A member got access to the account of the Orkut Staff representative Shanon and deleted many communities, most of them hate communities. Along with it, the "Stanford University" community was also deleted.
So Orkut should encourage these employees to reset their login details and should also reset their cookies. There is high probability that some people are still holding access to such accounts.
I would wish google to take care of this matter seriously as privacy and security of Millions of Orkut Users is Possibly Being compromised
Please Note : We claim that the information is 100% Correct, in case there is anyone to challenge that...
