Here is an article that came across DarkNet yesterday. It seems that Google's Orkut service is have a little worm problem. It isn't an everyone feature, it has to do with the 'Scrap Book' feature on the service. An update to the user that generates a 'Scrap Book' entry sounds like it has an embedded javascript in it.
Now, this really isn't an example of a large corporation making a flounder. What it is, is an example of a social networking being exploited by criminals. I know there are some that would be quick to jump on Google, I'm sure that with some time they will have the situation fixed.
Anyways, just so you all know, don't use the 'Scrap Book' feature on Orkut, or at least don't respond to updates from unknown people.
