Gone are the days when the innocuous social networking site, Orkut, was used as a common platform for liaisoning between friends, age no bar.

However, many unscrupulous users have now hacked and misused the site mainly to harass their rivals or plain mischief mongering. Recently cyber experts of the city have registered many cases of orkut profile hacking.

"I have been getting over five calls daily, mainly complaints about orkut profiles being hacked and I have solved almost all such cases," said a city-based cyber expert, who wanted to remain incognito, while talking to DNA. The expert further said that in most of these cases, the motive behind hacking was seen to be harassment on the victim - known or otherwise.
