well. actually I don't really care how secure is my password AS I CAN'T LOG IN !!!! note that this linden tries to be funny :"  don't give you password to) Pets too, you never know." do they really have nothing else to post in the blog? any bug to fixe? _____________________________________________________ don't want pretty skies don't want voice chat don't care about sculpties contests -> want decent support -> want stable platform I have a dream. I have a dream that one day the SL nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: all residents deserve a stable and optimized SL" |

It's kind of amusing to hear LL talk to us about password security...
Using the same password for SL as you do for the support site and the forums or other "external" SL portals BAD NEWS... And they keep adding them, your enver sure if it's an official SL site or not. Makes you WAY to used to typing in your critical SL password everywhere.. like maybe SLexchange? BAD!
Heh, anyway...

That blog post doesn't come as a big surprise after whatever incident caused them to have to reset the password of anyone who used the support portal.
It also fails to mention the importance of not disclosing the email address you use with SL, and to have a strong password on that. If someone gets to your email account, it won't matter how good your SL password is, it's trivial for them to just reset it to one of their own choice at that point and effectively lock you out.

From: Mo Dryke do they really have nothing else to post in the blog? any bug to fixe? So, just curious, what do you think Agent Linden's job is at LL? What bugs do you think he/she should be fixing? |

well the office opens @ 9am so from 9-10:30 he plays pinball with all the other .com holdover employees then heads to the water cooler for post it note feature discussion that takes about 30 min
then he probably wanders the halls for a little bit getting coffee, checking up on the other bug fixing lindens, who are mostly bug checking in "bad girls"
by now its 12 pm time for lunch
returns from lunch about 1:30, checks his messages / email / im's then heads back out to do the post lunch "make sure noone is sleeping" rounds
gets abit more coffee heads back downstairs for the "real media oh how we wished that didnt suck" pingpong semi finals with king phill by now its rounding around 4pm
we all know that last hour of work is usually lite work time, finishing up paperwork chit-chatting ect

Sometimes I get so tickled at y'all.  Everyone bitches to high heaven about the blogs being all but useless.........then someone posts something that is rather useful for anyone. It was nothing but a reminder about personal security....no sinester underlying meaning at all. So, all us "experts" on security have to chime in with sarcastic remarks. It's funny...........it really is. |

I still find it funny that of all of the things they could've posted about: Voice on main grid, new voice viewer (1.17.0.113), new beta viewer (1.18.0), friends list not working (again -_-), group and private voice not working well, voice no longer enabled on beta grid?, what ever happened to verification?, logins slow and buggy, sims going down, etc.
They decided to post something completely irrelevant to anything that's going on now, and something that they've already posted about multiple times in the past.
I could understand the post if there was nothing else to talk about, but, seriously, there are more important things happening in SL at the moment.

From: someone Do not use the same password on 3rd party websites that you use for your Second Life account. Especially if the site is Second Life related. This especially funny when I see: <form id="res_form" method="post" action="https://support.secondlife.com/ics/support/security.asp"> <input type="hidden" name="cFname" value="Jeff_Kelley" id="cFname"> <input type="hidden" name="cLname" value="Kelley" id="cLname"> <input type="hidden" name="cUname" value="jeff_kelley" id="cUname"> <input type="hidden" name="cSlaName" value="xxxx" id="cSlaName"> <input type="hidden" name="cEmail" value="MY@EMAIL.HERE" id="cEmail"> <input type="hidden" name="sessID" value="XXXX" id="sessID"> <input type="hidden" name="deptID" value="XXXX" id="deptID"> <input type="hidden" name="sessEmail" value="XXXX@lindenlab.com" id="sessEmail"> <input type="hidden" name="cStatus" value="REGISTERED" id="cStatus"> <input type="hidden" name="CUSTOMER_URL" value="XXXXXX" id="CUSTOMER_URL"> <a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('res_form').submit();">Log into the support system with Jeff_Kelley Kelley</a> </form> and knows that support.secondlife.com is a CNAME on d3.parature.com |
