Beware of some traps that Orkut has accidentally left for you which might result in compromising your account to someone, you don't even know..

Still fishing? Okay..All the credit for this security risk goes to the MiniBirthday Feature of orkut which displays the Upcoming Birthdays of your friends on your Home Page.

Oh!! really.....then better be off from this thread.

And yes, may I know if orkut.co.in is really a web frogery, i don't think so, the same orkutplus.org reports it as web forgery.

Even they don't know what they are POSTING

Messing up users with confusion
