Are the Chat and IM logs stored in the compromised database?

I understand that Linden Labs retains Chat and IM logs of residents to be able to resolve issues. Are these logs of resident conversations retained in the same database as the user account information that was hacked? What assurances are there that stored Chat and IM logs have not been disclosed as part of the security incident?

What steps does Linden Labs take to protect Chat and IM logs should these datsbases ever be compromised?

Chat and IM logs aren't stored in the same database, so are not in danger of having been compromised. In any event, we only keep these logs for a short time period.
