My robot (alt) was down at Orientation Island the other day when cubes like that started appearing. The robot clicked on one to find its details but the alarming thing was that it was attributed to OUR group! It had an owner and creator, both the same person, but they were listed as belonging to OUR land group, which is closed entry and has just me and the robot as members. Scary!
That's a common bug which I have seen before. Sometimes when you display object details the group last displayed does not update. Don't worry, it's just a client-side display error.

At least Havok 4 doesn't seem in the least bit phased by these attacks; they didn't impact performance much at all in the case I saw =)

There are so many way to fook up a sim (or multiple sims), but these kids are still play (well, lucky us that they are noobs+lamers) with '05 attacks. It doesn't have any impact on havok4 now, or at least it does have so minor impact that you would return anything in a microsecond. At this point a particle spam causes more troubles than this, not because for the sim perf, but because you need 10 seconds more to identify the source and ban him (while a return of objects would take less).
This is a shame for the "category". :(
