Second Life Cyber Attacks: CEO Rosedale Informs FBI About Threats

It seems that the online virtual world "Second Life" is no place hackers and other digital vandals should take lightly when considering who to hit with denial-of-service attacks. That much became clear this week, according to the blog Second Life Herald, when Philip Rosedale, CEO of "Second Life" publisher Linden Lab, announced during a virtual holiday party in the open-ended digital world that he had turned the perpetrators of a series of grid crashes over to the FBI.

Apparently, "Second Life" had been struck multiple times by attacks this week and prior and Rosedale told the multitudes gathered at the digital party that he wouldn't be having any of it.
