I read this on TechCrunch. After an interesting discussion on Friday in my Embedding Privacy class about the definition and function of privacy in everyday life, I found it quite ironic that I discovered this while casually searchiing for other information. Apparently, the database that was breached did not contain consumer credit card information, although it did include unencripted passwords and addresses of users (which would be quite sensitive to many users who do not devuldge their real identies). Another interesting fact was that users were not notified of the breach even though they were required to change their passwords as a result. Interesting note (which I had not realized) the number of users on Second Life has doubled over the last month.
