Region crashing using DDoS based attack
complete
A Navarita
Individuals using a program called <something>, they enter the region, grab the IP address and port number for the hosting server, and they proceed to launch and attack using the program on their desktops. This causes the region to go offline, and you are only able to bring it back online using the secondlife.com portal. After a year of experiencing these crashes on a daily basis in my region, I was finally able to find out what was going on.
(I've never used this JIRA before, so I am not sure if this is the right place to report this)
Please someone come up with a solution to this. It's been a long 12 months experiencing daily crashes in my region. I've spoken to various representatives via an open ticket that I have and no one has been able to help me.

We have been dealing with these attacks for months and it is unbelievable that the solution has not yet been found, we ask for help as this problem is affecting both the DJs and hosts who work at El Jefe Sports Bar as well as the visitors we hope for prompt help to solve this issue.Thank you in advance Maestro Linden

These are some of the most important reasons why I no longer attend clubs because the club that pays hackers to throw away the SIMs is famous and this damage they do to the clubs transfers to the PC of the people who are present at the time of this crashing because it affects our PC.

It's sad, especially since after so many falls, it's the computer that suffers. Being from a Latin American country, investing in a device to be able to enter SL is a bit complicated and for those people to come and not think about the damage they are doing. Thank you for getting your hands on the matter. Because as a precaution, one already abstains from going to clubs in general, thus taking away one of the attractions for which one enters.

There are known avatars that crash the sims ( alts) Once linden labs review the abuse reports sent about them, ban the avatars and their known alters as the main one this will finish, no one will want to loose their avatars, hidding behind and alt to crash sims for fun, envy or what ever reason they have makes them feel protected. some crash them cause the traffic, personal reasons, money give aways , but.. loosing their main avatar cause this reason will teach them a good lesson.

Iliana Shabazz Linden Labs has been diligently investigating these incidents for quite some time, and they take these matters very seriously. They have an exhaustive process for identifying and taking action against those responsible, regardless of whether they are using alternative avatars to hide their identity.
I am confident that Linden Labs will continue to conduct a thorough investigation into these attacks, ensuring that everyone involved faces appropriate consequences for their actions. Your willingness to address this issue openly is admirable, and I encourage others to do the same.
We trust the research process and support efforts to maintain a safe and pleasant environment for all Second Life residents.
