Orkut spam worm spotted!


I analyzed some suspicious scrap “2008 vem ai… que ele comece mto bem para vc” from a bunch of friends on Orkut. For a while it was all over Orkut!! Translated to English, it reads “2008 is coming…I wish that it begins quite well for you”.

When an Orkut user receives this malicious scrap, the browser downloads and executes the embedded virus.js script. It seems to do at least 2 things (it’s obfuscated and compacted, and I am writing this without any detailed analysis of the script so far) - scrap your friends with the same virulent message, and add your account to an Orkut community “Infectados pelo Vírus do Orkut” (”Infected by Orkut Virus” in English) created by the script author: Computer Security Research - McAfee Avert Labs Blog
