I use CCs for over 25 years and "thankfully" I got only hacked three times in the last years. Do you know what all the hacks had in common? Shortly after I used my card at Renderosity I got hacked... Coincidence?

The first one I had used at some major sides, so Rendo gets the benefit of the doubt (even if I don't think Amazon or Adobe have failed). The second one from last year was finally confirmed by Rendo after weeks of denial. The third one from this year points directly to Rendo because the CC was used for nearly one year exclusively only at Rendo.

So what does it mean for me?

I do believe Rendo does a lot for security but in my opinion this site has some serious security issues and I am not willing to take another hit by hackers. It is not worth the time and effort you have to spent to sort all of this out again after the next hack.

There are some nice vendors here and I spent quite a few thousand dollars on their products over the years but I simply can't buy here any longer. Sad for me, sad for the vendors, sad for Rendo but I can spent my money someplace else.
