Original Post

Although I never heard of Second Life, but the idea got me interested!! However, the security issue is really serious though

The whole idea of the "web site", as it's name clarifies, is living a second world that is online. It allow you to buy cars, lands, goods and other stuff and live your life ;)

quoted from the news article:

Second Life is an online world which, as its names implies, allows users to live out another existence. Members choose an avatar then use it to explore the Second Life world.

Users can buy virtual land and build a home or take part in all kinds of pastimes they may never try in the real world. Many residents of Second Life throw parties and bands such as Duran Duran are starting to stage gigs in the world.

 The security breach resulted in stealing passwords and critical information, such as credit card numbers and personal information, from a big number of registered users!
