Can a service related to Google can be hacked… I a would say positively then it would be a big NO unless and until we don’t make any mistake or disclose our confidential data. So now here let we discuss all the possible ways through we can loose our Orkut account or how can a hacker get control over our social network…

Key logger are mostly mentioned as system monitor or Keystroke Logger is a small device which is used in between the Keyboard connector and PC shocked is widely used device to hack any account. This type generally occur at the cyber cafes or systems at the public place. So it is always better to avoid use of any confidential password there.

So let them check carefully.

3. Primary Mail Address: Yes your primary can also be treated as to hack your orkut account! How, let say someone has access to your primary gmail or yahoo email account. Now he can easily hack Orkut account by simply using USER ID and clicking on ‘forget password’. This way Google will send link to the already hacked primary email ID to change the password of the Orkut account.Don;t you think this is easiest method if anyone knows your email password.

4. Phishing Attack: It is also the most popular way to hack any password. In this method hacker creates a fake login pages to fool the visitor of the phishing site. These phishing site look similar to the original sites but these are only made to gain access to the password whenever  a user enters his password. It submits all the entered details to the creator of the fake login page. In this way it’s obvious for many people to lose their Orkut account password. These sites also have the names similar to the orkut ones, so next time always be aware of such pissing attack.

5. Java script: You must have seen the circulating scraps that asks you to paste this code in your address bar and see what happens! Well sometimes they also leak out your information. Check the code and if you are unsure of what to do, then I recommend not to use it. So be careful, javascripts can even be used to hack Orkut!
