My first witness of an attack.. :: sniff ::

by constricting certain routes of info/feedback, kinda kicks back in the 'size o' the pipe' constriction. sigh - i hate to give that guy that much, but that -is- the case, sometimes, lol.

those of us ready to go back on at anytime are bound to keep clicking refresh DON'T DO IT!! find another quick chore to do, then check back.

was just thinking earlier, y'know, in ten years, this'll all seem like phone-modem speed.

wooo!! and with a ZHAO, too (i use that

next time - 'MUTE OBJECT', folks!! lol, over and over... however many times it takes. it did help me survive the bulk of it...

though, gee, it -does- bring up ethical dilemmas, in that those who were victims of a self-perpetuating chain of objs weren't necessarily responsible for it - just became unwitting agents in a chain reaction.

Tags : none As of 1840 PDT, the grid is temporarily down as we further investigate.
As of 18:59, scripts have been disabled till further notice.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will keep you updated.

<sarcasm>They are only investigating a "potential grid attack", which leads me to think that they are looking at something altogether different from the very obviously real denial of service attack that we are all witnessing</sarcasm>

Methinks it may be quite some time before logins are re-enabled. Hope not, but I'm not optimistic.

Yeah. I wouldn't hold my breath for log ins to come back any time tonight, or very late tonight, speaking of which this is all making me very tiered, time to snuggle up to some radio radio and catch some zzzzzzzz

Lets all do what linden labs says and welcome the teen grid its been so wonderful having them Ever since they made it so you dont need a credit card these lil morons crash the grid left and right WTG LL great idea

yaaaaa those wonderful lil' morons without all of your preconceived notions about the previous generation.

Blogs back down Sigh..

*goes back to djing*

I wouldn't be suprised if it wasn't connected with the recent DB breach considering the objects spouting the rhetoric came from approx: 8-10 different users will the owner to the object being: "Ben Linden".

I'm guessing of course his privileges are what those perps were after.

You would think they would want all employees to change their pass =)

How can it be comeing from 8-10 different users if Ben owns it? you must mean he created it. And it's easy to get full perm objects from lindens just look in the Library.
