If there is one thing one should never do is make a statement that your server is the most secure ever and taunt people to try and crack it.

Seems the maker of RedZone did just that and it took very little time for the challenge to be taken.

Aside from the slap in the face about server security, the screen shots showed many other interesting things.

One thing that jumped out is the password cracking build into the system. Those who registered on the web using their SL avatar name had passwords logged under the assumption that someone might accidently enter their SL account password by mistake.

From comments on the SLUniverse forums and scutiny of screen shots posted in the above article, there may be some indicators ( I wont say evidence yet) buried in all this that a “prim animator” made by the same person was performing a similar function, only more covertly.

Just a quick update on the current news. I’ll update this thread as new information arises.

EDITED: I forgot the page break for the summary
