Second Life Spotlight - Sabina Blakewell
https://community.secondlife.com/news/featured-news/second-life-spotlight-sabina-blakewell-r11307/

Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Sabina Blakewell, the creative force behind Magika. For 20 years, her distinctive hairstyles have helped shape avatar fashion and self-expression across Second Life, earning a loyal following that spans generations of Residents. How long have you been in Second Life, and how did you first hear about it? I joined Second Life 20 years ago after a friend group from another virtual world decided to give it a go. The platform we migrated from launched in the late 90s and was primitive enough to only let me customise my avatar by editing a string of code in a .ini file. And while that wasn’t going to stop me from looking fabulous, the transition from such a limited virtual world to something like Second Life was mind-blowing. I have no idea how many hours I sank into my first day in Second Life, but I’m pretty sure if someone had tried to pry me away from my new and shiny build tools, I would’ve probably hissed at them. In no time I had made all types of furniture, buildings, accessories, shoes, anything really, and was ready to open my little shop of mismatched goods. Hair is such an important part of avatar identity and self-expression in Second Life. What originally drew you to creating hairstyles, and what keeps you inspired after all these years? You know when someone says you can’t do something, and you get the intense urge to prove them wrong? Well 18 year old me was told that “hair is the hardest thing to make in this game”, very much implying that I wasn’t good enough to do it. And to be fair, I did struggle a fair bit in the beginning, but it’s rare to be good at something without being bad first, so I persevered out of pure stubbornness. However, the reason I continued for so many years was because it quickly became the most rewarding thing to make. As you said yourself, hair is a very important part of your avatar identity and self-expression. When I was done making it I had such a big piece of my “look” already done, and I would build my outfits around the hairstyles I made. Magika Store Magika is celebrating 20 years this year, which is an incredible milestone in Second Life. What has it been like watching both your brand and the platform evolve over the past two decades? Honestly? A bit like a fever dream. I joined Second Life when I was just 18 so it’s been an integral part of my entire adult life. It’s hard to wrap my head around how many evolutions myself, Magika, and Second Life have gone through over the past two decades. One thing on the grid that’s in a constant state of change is the fashion scene. It’s always been very interesting to me how while the community draws inspiration from real life fashion, it organically always develops into its own unique thing. It’s been really fun watching it ebb and flow, and watching Magika develop alongside it as my own sense of style and preferences change too. Although, with all the developments over the years it’s no secret that the workload for creators have multiplied at the same rate. So, a massive change for Magika was when my best friend and husband, Hazza Blakewell, joined me in 2020. While I’m still the one doing the creative bits, he does a lot of the heavy lifting in terms of creating a complete product. I think we make a fantastic team and I’m not sure what Magika would have looked like today if he hadn’t joined me when he did. Sabina & Hazza Your textures and styling have always had a very recognizable Magika look and feel. Can you tell us a bit about your creative process and how you approach designing new hairstyles? Well, firstly, I’m so happy you think it’s a recognizable look and feel! That’s been a goal for sure, and I hope others agree too. As far as inspiration goes, it’s all over the place. It can be as simple as putting together an outfit and not having the right hair
for it, or seeing a picture on social media. Other times it’s a real struggle, and I end up searching and sketching for ages before deciding on something. I’m also fortunate enough to have a community that approaches me with requests at times, which is always appreciated. The only thing every hairstyle has in common is that it actively has to be something I want to wear myself. Because if I don’t want to wear it, how can I expect anyone else to? You’ve built a very loyal community around Magika over the years, and many Residents have been wearing your hairstyles for a long time. What has it meant to you to see your work become part of so many avatars and memories in Second Life? The loyal community is the only reason I’ve had the privilege to do this for so long, and to say I’m grateful is a massive understatement. I think it’s easy to view your contributions in life as trivial when you’re doing something like this, but I’m just really proud. I know how much I love going shopping and dressing up in Second Life, and how cathartic it can be, so it’s a really good feeling to know Magika is part of that same experience for others. Looking back across 20 years of Magika, are there any favorite releases or memories that stand out to you the most? Eons ago, I put out a freebie for April Fools. It was a hair-swirl in the shape of a poop (I know, I’m very mature), but the gift itself wasn’t the highlight, it was how incredibly creative people got with it. I received a flurry of images showcasing how they’d styled the poop-like swirl with other, pre-existing hairstyles, adding intricate buns or thick curls, making you forget entirely what the freebie originally was. It was so impressive and I wish so badly I still had those pictures. Where can people see your work? Please share links to your sites and social media accounts.

Trust & Safety Tuesdays: Phishing
https://community.secondlife.com/news/featured-news/trust-safety-tuesdays-phishing-r11308/

With the advances of technology and the rise of A.I., it is imperative that we remain aware and informed about scamming and fraud trends. Practicing good security habits for our online accounts is more important than ever to ensure the protection of our private information and assets. To assist with keeping the community informed, the Trust & Safety Tuesdays topic we are covering today is one of the sneakier methods used to scam and defraud: Phishing. What is Phishing?Phishing is the attempt to acquire your personal information by impersonating a legitimate business, usually with emails or direct messages masking as said business. The goal of phishing is to obtain personal information such as banking information, platform specific account information like logins, or other personal details. This is often done by pretending to be a reputable source to trick you into providing that information under the guise of legitimate business concerns. Once obtained, this information can be used for multiple avenues of fraud, including credit card purchases, account takeovers, and even identity theft. With the possibility of severe damages like these, it makes addressing them quickly and accurately critically important. How to spot PhishingPhishing attempts often are in the form of emails, text messages, social media messages, or phone calls. Even though these individuals are masking to be a trustworthy source, there are often tell-tale signs of phishing that you can keep an eye out for: Sense of UrgencyThe messaging used in phishing attempts often portrays a sense of urgency in the request. For example, they may make claims that an important account of yours is going to get shut down immediately unless you give them your payment information. Another example is messaging that you could face fines or legal repercussions if you do not comply with a demand for payment. The sense of urgency is to facilitate a mentality to not think too hard about the request, such as if it is not done as soon as possible, you may face some sort of negative consequence. Requests for Personal InformationPhishing attempts often include out-of-nowhere requests for your personal and/or financial information, often masking it as a request to confirm information for an account you have with a company or platform. Many legitimate platforms will explicitly state they will never ask for your personal information or passwords and discourage customers from sharing login information with support. Suspicious LinksPhishing attempts often include links to external sites that ask for your login information. The links are often hidden within clickable buttons or made to appear like a legitimate link at a glance. Sometimes, the links can even go to a webpage that looks similar to the one you might be familiar with. This is done to trick people into using their logins on an external site controlled by the fraudsters without even realizing anything is wrong until after. Common strategies include: Using buttons such as “Login Here” or “Homepage” to hide the links Embedding the fake links into a real link by changing the hyperlink Using swapped characters to mimic the real link, such as uppercase “i/I” to replace lowercase “l/L” in words like “marketplace/marketpIace” How to Protect YourselfStaying knowledgeable and up to date on what phishing attempts look like is the best way to ensure you do not give out your personal information to an untrustworthy source. This also includes thinking of ways to test if a message or call is a phishing attempt. Think Before ClickingAn important consideration is that fraudsters will often impersonate commonly used brands such as a large social media platform, a delivery service, or a financial institution. This is because the contact is less likely to stand out if the person already uses the service. Think about
whether the messaging is relevant to you: This might look like stopping to think if you did actually order anything recently before clicking the link saying, “Your package has an update.” When asked for personal information, you should consider why someone is asking and if it is abnormal for that service or platform. This includes thinking about the level of urgency being stressed and the level of detail being shared in the messaging. Checking HyperlinksSometimes links are sent as hyperlinks, where the link is hidden in a string of characters. On some platforms and websites, you can hover your mouse cursor over the hyperlink, and it will show you the full link. You can also right-click the hyperlinked text, copy the link, and paste it into a new incognito or private browsing tab with your browser to see where the link actually goes. Remember, the link may take you to a login page that looks very similar to the company’s login page that they are trying to masquerade as. In those cases, it is best to go to the website on your own, with the link you know the page to be at. Second Life Viewer has a feature in place as well to show official Second Life links from secondlife.com websites. Verified links to these sites will have the Second Life hand logo next to the message, to show that the link is a safe, verified Second Life link. Securing Your InformationIf you find that you clicked a phishing link and may have had your personal information compromised, be sure to secure your accounts and information as soon as possible. Be sure to reset any passwords to accounts that may have had the information compromised. Add multi-factor authentication to the accounts, update your security question information, and ensure your connected emails are still up to date and secured as well. If any of your financial information is compromised, be sure to reach out to your affected financial institutions to ensure your accounts and information remain secured. Keep Your Information Safe!Becoming familiar with the tell-tale signs of phishing is crucial in protecting your personal and private information. These methods are always evolving, so be sure to also do your own research into current fraud and scam trends, how to spot them, and how to protect yourself from falling victim to these attempts. If you have more questions about phishing attempts and how to protect your accounts, be sure to stop by at the next Trust and Safety User Group meeting on July 21st at 11:00 AM SLT. More information on this meeting and other User Group meetings can be found here.
