Locked Orkut Album

Back in December, Google introduced some much needed privacy features to Orkut which allowed us to make our photos, videos and scrapbook viewable to just our friends. Some liked it, but others didn’t. Luckily for those who didn’t like this, there is a greasemonkey hack to view locked Orkut albums.

In order to use this script, you’ll require Firefox along with Greasemonkey extension. Now, click here to install the script from Userscript.org. After installing the script, you can view just about any locked album without any hiccups.

Have fun spying on other’s locked albums until Google fixes this loophole.

  1. this script is although not very reliable (works on some profile and doesnt on others, doesnt not link you to the picture, only album thumbnails can be seen)… but it definitly a good trick to snoop around ;)

  2. sorry actually i tried in an empty locked photo album and concluded it to be notworking but later after checking other album found the fun

    thanks for sharing dude :-)

  3. Thanks Thilak for nice review n link :-)

  4. I’ve tested this out and it works. So much for security.

  5. my 2 cents : don’t make it easy for pervs to spy on people’s profiles.

  6. google may soon have to act against these greasemonkey scripts…

  7. Some good news. :-)
    The bug has been rectified by orkut!
    But it should have been done earlier. This remained open for roughly 30 days.
