I've just not spent enough time in SL lately, I guess, 'cause before Moo mentioned them to me in a recent IM, I'd never heard of Patriotic Nigras (PN), a self-professed griefer group allegedly far more vicious than W-Hat ever caught fire for being. Interestingly enough, New Scientist magazine of all places has picked up the story and gotten an interview with Mudkips Acronym, one of PN's founders. Unfortunately, the story is locked off to non-subscribers. So I call upon anyone in our audience with a subscription to give us details! Information wants to be free!(Via newscientist)
Well, the issues with the grid are now quite clear. The Patriotic Nigras (or someone claiming to be them - honestly, it's all so childish that it's hard to tell - most griefer groups spend more time wailing on each-other than anything else) have used a form of a privilege escalation exploit on a number of objects around the grid to overload the communications systems.
