Two Proof-of-Concept cookies have been disclosed to demonstrate that Orkut doesn't remove the Google Authentication cookie to kill the Orkut session.
The reporter writes the conclusion:
"Hijacked session can be used for 14 days by the hijacker because logging out does not kill the session."

The original mailing list posting posted recently is this:

The example session was created on 30th June, then logged out and it was working until this Sunday.
