Well, here is my side of the story. I didn’t hack second life or did some sci fi stuff (like some people like to think). I just used a dumb coding mistake that they made on their website. Every bank user has his own (e-banking) account on their website, offcourse mr Ristow had one too. When you deposite money to the bank his account gets increased. One feature on their website was “wire transfer”… Now, you won’t believe this but all I did was wire transfer a negative number (lets say 40 000 000 L$) to mr tristow and by doing that increasing my account and decreasing his account (like most 8 year old kids know: 10$ — 2 (dubble negative) = 12 $. That’s all I did and that’s the amount of security bcx offers to their customers. I tell you, don’t use them!

Offcourse, my avatar was banned… I was banned for writing a negative number into a textfield of an external website. After I told this to the life admins they eventually said, “well, in our TOS we have a rule that allows us to ban anyone without reason…” (this was because I didn’t actually break any other rule of their Terms of agreement). Anyway, this is my side of the story and my final comment on this issue.

And yeah, offcourse i’m still active in SL.

Take care.

The bank was stolen from? How ironic. Isn’t this usually how it works? Something like this just has to happen now doesn’t it.

This is what the real banks are saying as well right now. It will last a while. Oh, but they have the security back up.. One could just wonder what security they provide.
