At approximately 7am SLT, a 'goo attack' hit portions of the Second Life grid. A goo attack is a self-replicating object attack. In this case the object was called a 'lolcube' and consisted of fast moving cubes, changing color very rapidly (some residents have reported feeling nauseous and dizzy as a result of the rapid motions and color changes). They make a 'kissing' noise and have been sighted in at least 10 different sims, though by the time of writing, the attack seems to have been contained with very little impact to the function of the Second Life grid itself. The owner of the offending objects is reported to be Baba Yamamoto, indicated by numerous eyewitness accounts of the objects.
Login concurrency at the time of the attack was approximately 23,000 and continued to climb steadily throughout, at approximately 24 per minute.
