Yesterday a friend of mine told me a problem he was facing with his Scrapbook in his orkut account whereby, he or anyone accessing his scrapbook was being logged out as soon as any link was clicked or even if the page was closed.
After having a close look at the source code I found that it was a simple HTML Tag inserted in the scrapbook which had the link to Logout orkut.
http://www.orkut.com/GLogin.aspx?cmd=logout
This was the link embedded in the scrap.
What this does:
- As soon as you open your scrapbook the link is accessed.
- It logs you out at that very moment when you opened your scrapbook. As the logout link is accessed.
- You still see your scrapbook but in the background you are already logged out.
What it NOT does:
- It does not compromise your account in any way. Like changing password or tampering with any data related to your account like Scraps etc. So your safe!! Do not panic.
- It is a plain HTML Code which calls the logout link. Thats it.
