Comments on: zf Redzone Security Breached – SL Passwords Compromised? http://alphavilleherald.com/2011/03/zf-redzone-security-breached-sl-passwords-compromised.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Altofme http://alphavilleherald.com/2011/03/zf-redzone-security-breached-sl-passwords-compromised.html/comment-page-3#comment-79900 Altofme Thu, 22 Aug 2013 14:34:43 +0000 http://alphavilleherald.com/?p=5262#comment-79900 Sober it went a bit further than that. I think it would have been a great tool had the information not been made available who's alts where whos. Banning the alt would have sufficed without that information being made public. Use on your own sim, was acceptable, but I knew as soon as he made the hud to snoop out other alts of avatars on any sim, that was the beginning of the end. This lead to harassment and stalking of many folks that had created alts to get away from a bad past. It was a great idea, he just took it too far, and violated the privacy of the innocent.

If an avatar's IP matched another avatar's IP who happened to be banned, the security system would eject and ban them from the parcel/sim. This was supposed to stop griefers and copybotters from simply registering new accounts to bypass bans from sims they had already been ejected from. A small yet very vocal handful of upset members of a BDSM fetish site created a groundswell of support after being locked out of the Balcones sim which used Redzone to lock out 19 alts of the one person alone. This group set up camp at sluniverse forums and proceeded to drum up a storm of support against the security system Redzone. The resulting group "Greenzone" declared Redzone to be an invasion of privacy, even though they also admitted it to be inaccurate at detecting alts (since IPs can be shared by more than one person). They also claimed that Redzone was being used to witch hunt selected people and promptly set about their own witch hunt against the creator of the product and businesses/individuals who used it. This included but was not limited to disinformation, outright slander, vigilantism, boycotts of inworld businesses and extensive harrassment of Linden Lab employees who ultimately rewrote the TOS for second life no less than three times to acommodate them and ultimately banned Redzone's creator without recompense while members of the Greenzone community continued to harass Redzone users for months afterwards.. That is more or less what Redzone was. Naturally there are people who will say otherwise, but only because they cannot own the situation as it was. @ Archie – Redzone was a security system that used media streams to record and match IP addresses of avatars against a database maintained by the creator of the Redzone product.

The article needs no background premise since anybody with a brainwave pattern knows what the RedZone controversy was and its resolution. @ Archie, not who, but what….
