This is an issue we are going to see more of in the future.
I know of two SL clients that can do this. One is used by bug testers for LL. Same guys who made copybot.
It seems once again this has become freely available to every joe hacker out there.

Sorry to say it, but SL just isn't safe for content creators or shoppers or anyone. LL don't give a rat's ass about security, because doing something serious about it would mean re-building SL from scratch.

SL was never designed with security.. the foundation of all SL code is based on a 1970s model of security, which is pretty much equal to no security.

Content theft has always been possible on SL. From day one. It's part of the code.
