They even published a list of these days we should take care when using Orkut. So let's see ...

1 - Create a strong password: Although "seunome123" a password is always tempting to create, keep in mind that it is also so easy for malicious users to discover how much you remember it. Try to create a password that involves a combination of letters and numbers that no one could easily guess, even if you know some basic information about who you are. The same goes for the security question (a question that pops up if you forget your password) - you should try to choose a question that only you can answer.

2 - Keep your personal information: Never share your password and username orkut with friends or on a site not authenticated by Google. Orkut does not allow any external sites to store login information and will never ask you to enter in any other place outside the orkut login page. As a precaution, always check that your address bar reads "https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin? ....." And nothing else when you're sharing your password and username orkut.

3 - Leave the coding to the engineers: Never copy and paste code into your address bar, regardless of what they supposedly can do. Typically these scripts actually send messages (in your name!) To your friends trying to trick them into providing personal information.

4 - Downloads and Orkut do not mix: Never download any file orkut, especially those that end in '. Vb' or '. Exe'. These files are often viruses that may infect your computer and start sending thousands of spam messages on your behalf. Sites offering special skins or themes for orkut are particularly risky.

5 - Think twice before clicking on outbound links: Links to outside sites that appear in orkut scraps and posts have not been verified by the orkut team and could lead you to harmful sites. We recommend only click on links that lead to trusted sites or those that are from other orkut users that you know well.

6 - It is always good to have an antivirus software: Even the most conscientious orkuteer can fall victim to a phishing attack, so it is important to always be alert and prepared. Regularly check your computer with antivirus software is an excellent way to keep it safe.

7 - To learn about the new features in orkut, check out the apps!: Sometimes an unofficial site may offer special features for orkut, but these sites are known for taking over orkut accounts and directly violate our Terms Service. If you are looking for a fun new feature of orkut, take a look at the thousands of applications available . All these applications were created by talented developers in accordance with the standards that we believe will help keep you safe online. If you have not visited the application directory recently, take a look - you might be surprised at how much cool stuff you find.

I would add: beware of very personal information and privacy as his father's profession, photos
bikini body, details of your routine ... and cCnfigurações -> Privacy, the last item "allow content to be accessed by" select "only my friends." So you would not expose themselves to strangers.
