Second Life terrorist reveals his secret - the Invisible Teleporting Grenades of Death |
Ó
Cyber terrorism can be done in different ways - from stealing accounts to DNS attacks. This one guy who calls himself Oracle Omega had a more innovative approach: he made micro bombs to terrorize Second Life citizens.More commonly known as the "Jessie Massacre", Randy Farmer made a script that could continuously spawn tiny "grenades" that aren't visible to the naked eye. These objects are less than an inch in diameter and very transparent, making them virtually invisible. "It would be undetectable, unstoppable, and lethal: The perfect killing machine," Farmer said.
True enough, lots of avatars died (teleported back home actually) during the attack on Jessie world. Eventually, the "Invisible Teleporting Grenades of Death" became inert but Farmer had no way of removing them. He filed a bug report stating: "Unable to select small, invisible objects."
A patch later made the tiny things transparent and Oracle Omega could finally destroy his own creations. He claims it as "one of the first legendary events of the world," but it's up to you to decide. Was it a legend or a prank?

its sweet ***** like this that makes me want to join up in second life i mean blowing up random things with invisible floating teleporting grenades of doom! who wouldnt want to make one of those huh?
I wonder if that terrorist was a Muslim too..
You racist piece of *****
cyber terrorists are completly different from regular terrorists and should not be steriotyped as such. It was obviously a fat white guy living in his mothers basement who was bored during a wow update.
Couldnt have said it better myself
Oracle Omega/Randy Farmer is the person who designed the user interface for Second Life. He is also the very first person to use instant messages, back about thirty years ago. He's been designing virtual worlds since before the existed. That given, he's just another damn griefer.
