Today when Im checking my transaction history I see some curious records...

Several items goes from my inventory to the invetory of someone that I banned from my sims, muted and file a AR few months ago.

All transaction with this format:


73
1815013480
Date: 08/03/2009 07:10:47

Give Inventory

Source: [Resident Name]

L$0


Then I was check the acount of my wife and I see the same guy.He stolen several things from my wife too !

I just filed a AR containing the name of the resident and all the transactions history to LL.

But it's very important to say to everyone that probally someone found a way to get things on the inventory of anyone else and this is very serious !

Change all passwords immediately.

If you have things sent to email and they know your email they could've possibly hacked that instead.

Yikes! Scary!!

Are you sure this wasn't some sort of in-world object giver? A 'touch me to get a notecard' or something??

If that "Resident Name" is the source, that sounds like he's giving you stuff, not taking stuff from you.

Notecards?
Is he trying to contact you via notecard, but you have him muted so you dont see them?

If it's true...will be a very shame on me, dude !

But I will really be happy if shamed !

Because i'm doing anything I can to call attention of LL with this subject !

Obviouslly I will ask for apologize in public if I'm wrong.Whatever, because I will be very happy ! My wife is really scared and crying because we have a 1.5 years old son and currently SL is our one source ;)

Very really sorry if I'm wrong !

Which column is it in? If the L$0 is in the Credit column, it's certainly him giving stuff (or trying to) to you.

Does someone have that instant-hole from Acme ??

I need this one ASAP ! I'd like to use this hole to hide away because I'm very embarassing now ! Henry, you are a shame and consider to shut up your mouth next time ! I'm a looser !

Dude, you are right ! Was exactly this !!!!

I beg apologize for this incredible missunderstood ! It was the most embarassing situation in my whole second life !

The guy sent several notecards to me and my wife one following another.Each notecard was atomactically refused because me and my wife muted the guy.

Probally he sent one..then freaking out..starts to send on and on and on and on.And all refused, but logged at the transaction history as 0 L$ !!

I assume 100% of this missunderstood, but the transaction history should provide a bit of more detailed info.If a notecard Has been sent..a object..a landmark...Otherwise a missunderstood like this is not so hard to happen again ;)

ty, guys and one more time: My deeply apologizes.

It's okay. Maybe you were afraid because of his past behavior.

I try to tell people if I am about to mute them, precisely so they do not continue trying to do things like that - and if they do it's on them.

Never mind Henry - everyone makes mistakes. When in doubt, just remember to come and ask here first. Someone here will always help you quickly and if you should contact LL, then that's the advice you will be given. :)

You saw a *potential* security hole, and you alerted us to it.

Thank you.

The fact it turned out to not be a security hole is extra sugar on the pasta.

That's very unlikely. You may have lost inventory items, but I don't know of any way that another resident can "steal" them out of your inventory.

There are several things you can do to try and recover lost inventory. The simplest is to clear your cache, then log into an EMPTY water sim, open your inventory, and enter something into the search box. Wait for your inventory to load.

You may need to repeat this several times.

Curious, how do you find an 'empty water sim'?

I always use the water sim right by the hangout - called Cora I think.

Henry, if that was the worst mistake you ever make then you have a wonderful life. I have do so much worse before. Do not worry about it. We are all human after all.






Well, most of us.








Some of us actually







OK, so it's just a few humans left, now, what with all the vampires and furrys and pixes running around :D

It's dangerous reading necro-threads backwards from the last post. For a moment there I thought Henry was looking for an empty water sim to drown himself in shame. :eek:

Won't someone think of the poor Humans... with them around, who will we pick on? :)

And they are so clever in picking the cocoa beans and making chocolate. With out them, I will need to find another race to trick into making chocolate.
