If any of you are on wifi, also note that an unsecured connection (or even a badly secured one) can also be compromised, which can lead to a CC hijacking.

I understand that and that is good advice but in my case the modem is not only password protected but it also runs a blacklist with the only exceptions being my PCs and Kindles.  In addition I also do all my banking online but never use my debit card for purchases, online or otherwise, just for ATM withdrawals.  My wife uses the same network and the only card that have been hacked are mine and only the ones used for 3D related purposes.  After the third occasion I only used the cards for purchases here at Rendo and I was hacked twice more.  I did however use the other accounts for Amazon purchases and they have stayed secure so far.  I am not blaming Rendo as I have no proof and so it would be wrong for me to do so.  Having said that it does seem a wise precaution for me to stop spending here for at least a few months.  Of course, if I take a break and then come back and I get hacked again, despite what anyone might say, my spending ban will become permanent.  To do otherwise be rather foolish under the circumstances.

One final thought, the people who post here are a small proportion of those who shop here, plus, I only found this thread after another thread I was interested in was moved from the Poser forum.  Given this information I wonder just how many people who shop here have had their cards hacked recently. 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
