    I write this on behalf of my sister who had a shock today when one of her friends told her that her 'About Me' section has been totally changed and there were links posted asking people to view her nude pictures and videos.She immediately edited the section and changed her password.She told me that two days ago,she had seen a status change in one of her friend's profiles to visit www.orkutreloaded.tk which she did as it said that the site had additional features,etc.and now she fears that her account may have been hacked.her gmail account is working fine even after she changed her password.

    is her account at risk?she wonders if she will have to delete her account....

    I can understand the risk factor involved with those malicious links. This is the case of phishing where hackers attract you to enter your account details (ID and Pass) by telling some random things.

    Changing password is not the only solution to this problem. Ask your sister to change her security question and secondary email immediately. There is no need of account deletion after changing all security features
