I have done my best trying to spread the information to as many people as possible, specially here on Moolto with 11000+ members. (Thanks Moolto for posting my blogs). I didn't know anything about these spyware gadgets and how much of the grid is infected by them, before February 3. So I started to investigate and wanted to share with you all about my findings, but now it's time to quit, I will keep up to date about how to protect myself. Actually I don't even know atm if I will stay in SL.…

"Apparently zFire, creator of Redzone, made this video for his girlfriend.  If you listen to the video, you will hear him not only bragging about giving her access to his database information, but revealing people's RL locations and even attempting to access people's Second Life accounts based on failed…

I am totally fed up running around the grid, investigating where it's "safe" to be or not. There are other people doing it and they do a better job at it than me. At first I was only concerned and pissed off at the stores where I have spent lindens, for using RedZone, spying on me behind my back, but the whole grid is infected. There are MANY more places using spywares like RedZone, CDS and Quickware, so I will just share with you what I do to protect myself and how to try to stop…

"Soft Linden said the following on the JIRA (see link right hand side) just now 02/Mar/11 12:58 PM (SLT)



Hey, all. I got the go-ahead to give an update on zF Red Zone specifically. Again, thank you for the ARs with specific info about violations. These have been very helpful for letting…

The 2011 Skin Fair is hiding Redzone.  



This infuriates me.  They have a script counter right at the landing point that will boot you if you're wearing more than 50 scripts.  They ask everyone to remove all prims and AO's to cut down on lag.  God forbid you don't waddle around bald, you're sure to be berated by someone for "contributing to the sim lag".



And yet, they use Redzone there??  A major lag monster?  And even go so far as to hide…

Well, I have lost my trust totally in Linden Labs and the merchants, after 4 years in Second Life I'm for the first time seriously considering leaving and close my account. I came to SL to have fun and relax, escape the "ugly" real world for awhile, but what did I find - an even more "ugly" virtual world, full of greed, hunger for power, liers, cheaters, etc, etc. Sure there are exceptions, I have met some really nice people here, but the negative…

Linden Lab has bowed to the wave of public anger and explicitly banned the alt outing functionality in RedZone:

What is an IP Address (I will shorten the word to IPA)? The simple explanation is; it's the address to your computer on the internet. Some people have static IPA's, others have dynamic ones, which means they can change every day or less frequently. The major issue with RedZone is that the banned IPA's are stored in their database and if you have a dynamic IPA that changes frequently, you might get one of the banned ones assigned to you by your ISP. The worst scenario would be if that IPA…

VOTE HERE: TO BAN REDZONE ON LL'S JIRA!

I understand that the merchants can't see the ip numbers BUT the creators of RedZone can and they STORE that among other information in their database. That is an invasion of my privacy and shouldn't be allowed, my purpose is to make everybody aware about this and NOT…
