How To Copy Locked Photos From Orkut?

Yes it’s still possible to copy the photos from Orkut. Here’s a step-by-step procedure to copy the photo.

1. Login into your Orkut Account.

2. Goto your friend’s album and open the photo that you need to copy.

3. Once the photo is loaded to it’s full size just place the mouse cursor on the photo.

4. Press the left click button and drag and drop the photo onto the ADDRESS BAR. I think this trick is no longer working. So I have a new trick….

Just DRAG and DROP the PHOTO onto the current/new TAB (If you have IE 7). Alternatively you can also Drag and Drop the photo onto the Desktop. That’s it. This trick is working now!!

4. Now the photo gets displayed seperately on your browser.

5. You can Right-Click and select the Save As option to save the photo onto your PC.

The browser also displays the direct link to the photo. This link can be used to share the Orkut photos with your friends without the need to login to your Orkut account to access photos.

Happy Orkut Hacking.

It can be a nightmare if someone else takes control of your Google Account because all your Google services like Gmail, Orkut, Google Calendar, Blogger, AdSense, Google Docs and even Google Checkout are tied to the same account.

Here are some options suggested by Google Support when your forget the Gmail password or if someone else takes ownership of your Google Account and changes the password:

1. Reset Your Google Account Password:

Type the email address associated with your Google Account or Gmail user name at Gmail Forgot Password Link – you will receive an email at your secondary email address with a link to reset your Google Account Password. This will not work if the other person has changed your secondary email address or if you no longer have access to that address.

2. For Google Accounts Associated with Gmail:

If you have problems while logging into your Gmail account, you can consider contacting Google by filling this form. It however requires you to remember the exact date when you created that Gmail account.

3. For Hijacked Google Accounts Not Linked to Gmail:

If your Google Account doesn’t use a Gmail address, contact Google by filling this form. This approach may help bring back your Google Account if you religiously preserve all your old emails. You will be required to know the exact creation date of your Google Account plus a copy of that original “Google Email Verification” message. It may be slightly tough to get your Google Account back but definitely not impossible if you have the relevant information in your secondary email mailbox.

Ways to Hack Orkut Account

1. Using a Keylogger is one of the Easiest Way to Hack Orkut password. Keylogger programs can spy on what the user types on his/her computer keyboard. A Keylogger program operates in a complete stealth mode and thus remains undetected. Hence, the victim will never come to know about it’s presence on his computer.

A detailed information on keylogger hack can be found in my post on How to Hack an Email Account.

2. Phishing Attack is the most popular way of hacking/stealing other’s password. This attack works by using fake login pages (login pages that look exactly same as that of Orkut, but a fake one) to fool innocent users to enter their Orkut username and password in these fake login pages instead of the real ones. When the users land on a fake login page, they enter their Orkut username and password thinking it to be the real one, but actually, it is other way round. It submits all the entered details to the creator (usually the hacker) of the fake login page.

3. Orkut New Features Trick: Some websites on Internet claims to offer many additional features for Orkut users. Usually, these websites will offer a login page from their own website and force users to login to their Orkut account from this page itself inorder to gain access to the additional features. In fact, these websites are nothing more than a scam. They simply take away your login details when you enter your Orkut username and password on their pages. This is somewhat similar to that of phishing attack.

4. Community Links: Many times you are provided with a link to a community in a scrap. Read the link carefully, It may be something like http://www.okrut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=22910233 OKRUT not ORKUT. This is definitely a trap created by the hacker to hack your Orkut password. Clicking on this link will take you to a fake login page where you end up losing your password.

5. Java script: You must have seen the circulating scraps that asks you to paste a certain code (javascript) onto your address bar. Well, sometimes these scripts will hijack your session by stealing your cookie. So, it is better to avaoid running any unknown script from your orkut account. 

So, I hope that this article will not only teach you how to hack Orkut, but also tell you how to protect your Orkut account being hacked.
