In another thread about this email problem, Andy Welder offers the opinion that the Rendo email addresses are being stolen from some MEMBER'S computer which has been compromised by a spammer. If you ever write to that member (or members) using your Rendo email address then your email address will be stolen. I imagine that Andy may be correct that that is sometime happening. But that doesn't explain my situation (and the situation reported by many other members).
A week ago (approximately) I created a new email address specifically for Renderosity. I have NEVER used this email address to communicate with ANYONE. I have NEVER received any email at this address from ANYONE BUT RENDEROSITY. And yet it has ALREADY been compromised !!!
Now, if MY system was compromised, I could expect to receive spam from all my various addresses (DAZ, AMAZON, etc). But I don't. Just my Rendo address is compromised.
Tell me, Andy, how can this be anyone's fault but Renderosity's???
