You know a few years ago there was a rash of spam emails that was hitting people. The kind that said they had a wealthy client who needed to give away his massive fortunes, etc. For weeks we went around and around with Renderosity about there being a leak and they kept saying the same old story: Our servers are secure, there have been no hacks, I had created a new email and let it sit dormant for a few weeks, had nothing hit it so I assigned that email address to my Rendo account and suddenly within like 2 days I was getting spammed with scam messages.....and then I think about 2 months after it had all started Rendo finally admitted that there had been a break in and information was taken. I just remembered how so up front in our face they were about how it wasn't on their end, beating on the their system was safe and secure drum.

If you don't keep up on your security, you're going to get hacked. Too many businesses don't spend the $$ on keeping their systems updated and they run with outdated operating software, because it's cheap...and low lives out there are always picking and poking around to find a weakness and once they get in....this  happens.  Yesterday it was emails, today credit card information. I would like to see businesses held accountable for peoples losses because of their lazy IT habits. 

I agree with others that there should have been a front page article on this subject. Because if I hadn't been bored this evening, and just scrolling around, I would not have seen this thread. I get a lot of mail on the email address I use for this site, and I found this message in Promotions tab with Chrome which files emails based on how merchants sends them out...so way to go Rendo. Why not send a message to my Renderosity site mail instead? After all what is site mail for?
