Have the same problem, got a warning from the creditcard company , that data was stolen from renderosity. I'm afraid to buy things now. I was wondering why i didn't get a warning from renderosity, now i see that many people have problems with the safety of renderosity i wouldt like to know what they are doing about it.

As I said in a previous submission, I can't be sure where the process went wrong. I do know that a few years back one fraud down to Renderosity because they made a public statement that it was some weeks after the event. The double charging recently was also from orders at Renderosity which I think was blamed on Paypal which they use even if you are using a credit card. In another thread here there appears to be an admission that there could have been a breach in the checkout process during a few days in March.

What I can be totally sure on is that I am extremely reluctant to spend any money here and have decided not to buy a number of items rather than risk my card yet again. There are only about two vendors left here who I will buy from no matter what so when they go so will I. I do not like Paypal (long story and long ago, but once bitten twice shy). So at the moment I am looking at setting up a PrePaid debt card for these rare purchases, on the basis I can only be defrauded on what I have on the card as there is no overdraft or credit facility. Has to be better than the $9000+ dollars that has been defrauded on my card in the last year or so. Happily I did not have to pay it but we all do at the end of the day and it is a real hassle every time it happens.
