Orkut: Security tips

Some of it may seem obvious, so forgive me for sounding like your mother, but you'll really be better off knowing this.

» Don't share

Keep your username, password and personal information secret and change your password regularly.

» Don't script

Never paste a URL or script into your browser while logged into orkut.com -- no matter what it claims to do. Don't click on links in emails that claim to be from orkut or Gmail. Scan your computer regularly for viruses, spyware, and adware.

» Don't spread

Never enter your Google Account login and password on sites other than orkut.com and other Google properties. Never check "remember me" when you're on a shared computer.
