Reports are coming in now of another attack by the CopyCock, flying, self-replicating, explosive phallus. Shortly after 16:00 SLT, there were reports of the object swarming in sim Uzume, and Green Lantern Marious Bishop went out and confirmed the object, owned by CyberSexMakesMe Fapp was spreading throughout the region and into neighbouring sims.Rowan Carroll called the details into Live Help (or whatever they call themselves these days), and went to New Citizens Inc, in nearby Kuula, locking down the parcel properties against object encroachment and alien scripts. Lucy Linden was quick to respond. By 17:00 SLT, several sims in the region of Uzume are downed during the cleanup.
If CyberSexMakesMe Fapp seems like a familiar name, that's because he was one of the two avatars involved in the attack on Luskwood late last night. This attack -- like the one last night -- does not seem to have been terribly widespread, suggesting that the attacker had specific targets in mind.
1. At the moment, the situation appears more serious than that. I can't log in at all, and, while the status indicator on the login screen says "Online," the Grid Status page says "Second Life Offline For Database Maintenance or Update." And nary a peep on the Grand Unified Linden Blog....
