More Derptardedness.

Linden Lab has outsourced the processing of payment details to a company called Dragonfish, who claim to be ”The Leading Provider of Online Gaming Solutions”. How true this claim may be is for others to decide, one thing is certain, they appear to play fast and loose with their customer’s credit card data.
Apparently Dragonfish/Cassava Enterprises (the parent company) passes at least the card holder name and the email address to other gambling sites, this has been confirmed by people who have received spam email for gambling sites to email addresses that are only used for Second Life purposes*. More worrying is that card holder names are also being passed, this claim was made by someone who received a spam email to the Second Life account used by the account holder yet addressed to the card holder name which was someone who had allowed them to use the card to make payment to Linden Lab*.
