I have been hacked 3 times now since last September. Only same purchases were here or Amazon and after getting notice sent out from Renderosity, I figure they might have been here then. The first two were testers for small amounts that the credit card company called me about but the third was for $1,000 worth of shoes and unfortunately I had to find that one and report it as fraud.. I got that straightened out and removed from my account but now my card is on watch for any other funny transactions. May I make the suggestion of getting a small balance credit card from a store that offers them or some other entity other than your bank. I went with a major chain store and that way they have no access back to my bank accounts. Since my fourth new card, I haven't shopped here other than a small purchase with Paypal. Frankly I am getting tired of getting calls and cancelled cards and now each one of the attacks on my card was done with the new number I had just been given............so someone is still watching somewhere and snatching because my third card only lasted 2 weeks before it had to be cancelled. So beware.......don't know what can be done to keep safe anymore..........
In the time period admitted to by Rendo my cards were none three times but if you are going back as far as September then I have been hacked five times in total. The other two cards were only used here and at Amazon. However I have other cards I use at Amazon and they were not hacked only the ones used there and here. Although I have no proof I do suspect that all the hacks were due to this site. So far I have reduced my spending here by around 75% and I am looking to reduce it further. If the card I am using here gets hacked again (it is only used here) I will end my spending completely. Although, considering what is happening here, that might happen anyway.
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.
