Issues pertaining to the security of Second Life should be sent to Linden Lab via special mechanism described below. Please help us keep Second Life secure by ensuring that possible security exploits aren't broadly advertised before a fix is available.
If an issue poses any of the following threats to Second Life, its Residents or content, then it is an exploit and should be reported:
- Exposes real life Resident identity without consent
- Destroys content
- Permits unauthorized access to Second Life / Linden Lab resources
- Compromises a client or server host subjecting it to remote control
When reporting an exploit, please provide as much detail as possible, Including the environment used (e.g. Windows XP Service Pack 2, Nvidia 6800, etc) and the complete reproduction case. Linden Lab offers a L$10,000 bounty for each previously unknown exploit that can be verified. Please report issues as soon as they are discovered!
There are two ways to file security reports:
- Via email: security@lindenlab.com
Warning
The Security mailing list is ONLY for reporting security exploits that might compromise a Residents identity or the Second Life Grid. All other requests including account issues and account security via this address will not be addressed.
