Virtual Bombing
Vandals, or "griefers" as they are known in world, last week hacked into the ABC Island on Second Life, and reduced it to rubble. Quickly after the event, Linden Labs executed a "rollback," which has restored most of what was there before the attack. These types of attacks are not uncommon in Second Life and virtual "atom bombs" have also been used by the self-proclaimed Second Life Liberation Army against in-world stores owned by Reebok and American Apparel. The group claims it is campaigning for more democracy in the virtual world. No escape from the "reality" of dissisdents, even in the virtual world.
