I would like to share my story about ‘MY HACKING’ that took place about a month ago. I had 2 of my accounts ‘HACKED’ and NO ONE had my passwords and there was no keylogger. I had 140,000 in Lindens stolen from my accounts and the L’s were transferred to Ginko accounts in my Avitars names it was then sold immediately for USD and transferred from the Ginko accounts web site to PayPal to the ‘HACKERS’ E-Mail Address account.
The morning that I discovered that I was ‘HACKED’ I logged my main character in and she logged into a sex club that I have never been to ..and her L’s were 0.00 so I logged my Alt she also was logged into a sex club but this was a Furry Gay Sex Club and her balance also was 0.00. The transaction pages for my accounts still were not updated to show me where the L’s went….I had contacted live help and had asked for a Linden…Hermia Linden responded and told me where my L’s went but could not give me any other help.
As soon as the Lindens office had opened up I had contacted them..they were absolutely no help at all they had me contact support,which had me contact billings and billings had me write exactly what had happened and to ‘Flag It As Attention to Kelvin’. When I didnt hear anything from them I had contacted billings again and they had said to contact ‘Support’ that it was not their dept, which I did and I had told my whole story all over again to a Linden in Support and the end results with the Lindens were …because my L’s were transferred to Ginko I had to talk with then on it and the Lindens considered my ‘HACKING RESOLVED’.
I did get the ‘HACKERS’ IP ADDRESS and E-Mail Address from Ginko Financial and with a little persistence my Lindens were returned to both my avitars and Ginko had assured me that they were demanding a Reverse on the money with PayPal and that they would insist on prosecution.

It really was not the missing Lindens that bothered as much as my feeling of being ‘VIOLATED’and the ‘Fright’that knowing someone can enter my account without having my password which I am 100% positive about, AND the passive way the Lindens treated this whole thing. I now play this game with the knowledge that I have NO PROTECTION and game play is at MY OWN RISK.

Yesterday it was brought to my attention that a friend of mine in game, who doesn’t own any stores or anything, was hacked. They emptied her bank account with L’s and transferred them to a “false” account as LL stated. Right now they basically have told her that she’s out of luck. Which doesn’t make sense. They have to have access to where this was cashed out two and who did it. I think they did put a hold on her account last night.
She has given her password to no one, really doesn’t know that many people in game. But somehow someone got into her account and pulled all her funds from her bank, turned it into L’s and transferred it to another account to cash out.

So this isn’t just happening to Simone or to business people. Something is going on and it needs to be stopped and dealt with severely.

In west philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said were up in no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air

*now if they can only fix the rest of the grid like they did Simone’s problem*

(sound familiar, anyone?)

Okay, after two days of the Lindens investigating this, enduring my frantic phone calls, and being all-round *darlings* about handling things, the situation’s reached resolution. I am not 100% sure of the status of the accounts of the offender, and frankly, I don’t give a rat’s hairy butt. However, the Lindens did return the money in full to me today. Someone got the corporate office’s street address? I wanna send pizza and roses…

THANK YOU TO THE LL TEAM! *waves her hands like she’s at a Unity Church meeting and ‘sends’ Looooove*

;-D
