So basically *any* SL account is fair game. It’s trivial to do, apparently even if you ask LL to add a second password question or PIN as an additional layer of security (which they only grant if you are a premium account, lol), because the people who work in support just don’t know about it / are new / etc.
It happens every day and happened to dozens of people i know.
I wonder if the person tricked the geniuses at LL support into resetting the password by providing basic RL info, like it is being done to countless other accounts, without LL doing much about it. Tia Linden is now gone from search apparently, as usual the only thing LL has to say about this is canned standard responses from “Scouts”, in fact that is all people get from LL these days. (Last time i’ve seen that happen was 2008 and it was just a hacked name, no actual Linden account). Tia Linden who was laid off in 2010 during the big purge. Today i was messaged by a hacked Linden account. Linden Lab’s security and customer support are probably the worst i have seen in my ~20 years online time.
