In an announcement today, Linden Labs announced the possibility that the database of Second Life users may have been hacked, and that at least some data was compromised, including "Second Life names, real life names and contact information".

While Linden have taken the precaution of making everyone reset their passwords (and apparently there's some grief amongst the long time users who forgot what the answer to their security question was and now can't get back in), the more vexing problem for all those anonymous users is - will the list of Real Names and SL names pop up online somewhere?

And if so, will Gideon suddenly realize that all those escorts he met were 50 year old men?
