Never a good idea.

 

What to do if your account is compromised

Your account may have been compromised if:

• You can't access your account.
• You suddenly notice a reduced available balance on the payment source you have on file.

If this happens, contact us immediately!

Here's what to do:

1. Go to the Second LIfe Help page and log in if you can. If you can't access your account, use the Forgot your login information? link on the right to recover your username and reset your password. Then log in.
2. On the Second LIfe Help page page, click the Contact Support link on the right.
3. On the next page, click Submit a a Support Case form.
4. Under What type of problem are you having?, select Account Issue. A second dropdown appears.
5. Under Account Issue, select I believe my account has been compromised.
6. Fill in the rest of the fields as directed.
7. Click Submit.
8. Check your email for your case number.
9. Call our fraud number: 800-860-6990.

Once you do this, Linden Lab will place your account on hold and investigate the relevant transactions. This may take a few days. Once we have concluded the investigation, we'll send you an email explaining our conclusion and the action we will take. Note that all transactions involving Linden dollars are subject to Linden Lab's Terms of Service.

Tip: Even if you are able to log into your account, we recommend that you change your password immediately to something secure and unique.  Changing your password regularly is one good way to protect the safety of your account.  For information on how to change your password, see the How to change your password section of this article.

Sorry, but you violated the ToS disclosing your password.

Section 3.2.: "You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and are responsible for any harm resulting from your disclosure, or authorization of the disclosure of your password or from any person's use of your password to gain access to your Account or Account Name. At no time should you respond to an online request for a password other than in connection with the log-on process to the Service. Your disclosure of your password to any other person is at your own risk."

You may try what Griffin suggested but LL is in no way obliged to give a positive answer to your request. If they don't, I feel for you but it will be a lesson learnt the hard way. Good luck.
