I think after the grid attack tonight someone has attempted to hack my account. Please view the JPG file by clicking here (it is quite large to post onto a forum). Someone or some object in-world spammed my gmail account with about 120 emails containing nothing but giberish. The UUID key of whoever or whatever did this is listed in the header of each email. I emailed support about this already. Can a linden investigate this for me please?

:::EDIT:::

As a follow up thismorning, when i logged in i found these were inventory objects passed to me by one of the attackers. IM me for persons name

The self replicator kept renaming it's self to bypass the goo fence and kept giving copies of its self to people.

We are indeed working on improving our grey goo handling tools. No one was trying to hack your account, though as you say the goo objects were trying to give copies of themselves to everyone. Because of this behavior the actual people who owned the objects that were attempting to give you inventory were probably not any more culpable than you were. We were able to track down the source however.
