A vulnerability in the social networking site Orkut that allowed users to inject HTML and JavaScript into their profiles set the stage for a persistent XSS worm that appears to have affected approximately 400,000 Orkut users.  The malicious code is apparently fetched from the site "http://files.myopera.com" and is called, conveniently enough, "virus.js."
