If your payment information was accessed, it was in encrypted form. As we described in the FAQ sent out earlier this evening:
Should I be concerned that encrypted password and encrypted payment information may have been exposed? Is the encryption unbreakable? A: We use an MD-5 hash (scramble function) and salt (additional data) to encode passwords and payment information, an industry standard technique that is commonly regarded as difficult to defeat. However, no hash or encryption is unbreakable, given enough time and computing power. If you believe that you may be the victim of credit card fraud, you should contact your credit card company. If you use your Second Life password on other websites, online services, or any other services, you should change the password on that service as well. You can find additional tips for protection of your identity online at http://www.privacy.ca.gov/sheets/cis1english.htm. For the full FAQ, please see this post . _____________________
