“Bom sabado” is a different type of worm spread on Orkut, a popular social networking website. It is owned by Google Inc. “Bom Sabado” means Good Saturday in Portuguese language. Orkut is the primary social networking website in Brazil and India. This worm infects the profile of the Orkut users who receives the “Bom sabado” message (commonly called as scrap in Orkut language). This worm came out due to the Cross site scripting (XSS) in the website applications. This hit the majority of the Orkut profiles on September 25th 2010. Google asked the Orkut users to say away from it until the engineers fix it.
