Green Zone attacks the Second Life JIRA

A regular Second Life sandbox user and long term creator reported to us several months ago that she had witnessed hackers attempting to send a denial of service attack to our server from the sandbox she was working in.

It was reported to Linden Labs at the time, but due to the nature of the problem, really there is not much that they can do to stop it, so no resolution was implemented.

A few days ago, the same person witnessed this attack again and after seeing it happen over several months, decided to create a well thought out JIRA report to suggest a way that it could be resolved.

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7889

The owner of Voodoo (the website being attacked in the screenshot) was asked to comment about the attack and we encouraged people to vote for the issue in our group chat. Some people posted messages of support of the feature.

In comes the Green Zone griefers ...

Although the Second Life JIRA is a tool to be used strictly for reporting bugs and feature suggestions, the Green Zone members hijacked the JIRA to make personal attacks, insults and other unhelpful comments. The comment below from Cyborg Renfold is particularly confusing, as he has been known on several occasions to stalk and publish peoples real life names and addresses in the Green Zone Users group chat. The moderators then refuse to eject him.






This and previous posts prove without a doubt that Green Zone is a griefer group and like Woodbury University group, should be banned from Second Life by Linden Labs. We hope they continue to prove themselves griefers so that Linden Labs can take action sooner rather than later.
