I strongly advise against using SecondLife as a business platform for solely RL income. The one occurance of account theft using a command line exploit (-autologin on faked betagrid server) opened my eyes. You could have built up whatever, over years, shopping malls and customer relations, all this can go into someone's pockets in an instant. Ina box, fullperms. This isn't solely a SecondLife targetting problem, other online activities are facing the same degrees of danger. For example W oW (speeled something like that, from this ?thunder? company) accounts are sold on a blackmarket for astonishing piles of money. You can keep your terminal computer clean, and carefully observance of the login process each times. And yes, each times does mean relogging after relogging after crash after crash again ... so can be worn off on an evening. So my vote for improval goes for platform security, and don't get me wrong that doesn't mean 'oh my gawd, there are under aged teror-ists training inside xy' or the like. The plain old account security, like you would demand from every asset holder, bank or other trusted business partner. Some next evolution step in customer useable and advanced technology is due in regards of login authentification. yours sincerely, Bob
