[Opensim-users] Oar Files and Security?

[Diva Canto]

Let me emphasize  that OpenSim, and the Hypergrid in particular, are 
extremely unsafe at this point in time. No one should have any false 
expectations of security. Security is coming, and it will be as good as 
our collective minds can make it, but it's not here yet.

If you can't cope with the current risks, don't use OpenSim now -- come 
back next year -- or/and stay within the borders of your private world.
If you still want to use it at large with the current risks, figure out 
what works for you as mitigation -- backups, alts, quarantine sims, etc.
