As many of you already know, yesterday Renderosity experienced an illegal intrusion to our website which redirected our members and visitors to another website that was trying to sell products or services. Immediately, our technical staff took action to restore the site to its normal operations and to prevent further intrusion. Today, our technicians are actively working to identify any additional vulnerabilities and fortify those areas.

 Protecting your information is Renderosity’s number one priority, and we can assure that no personal financial data can be accessed from our system in two ways. First, credit/debit card information is not stored in our database. Renderosity only stores what is called blind card info that is the first two digits and last four digits of an account number. The security codes on the backs of credit/debit cards are also not stored. The second way we assure security is that card information being processed for transactions is heavily encrypted. Passwords and US vendor’s social security numbers have a two tiered level of encryption to keep those items secure.

I will make an additional post at the end of the day to update you on the additional progress our security team has made.

I appreciate everyone who contacted us to make sure we were aware of the problem.  Of course we were, but it’s always reassuring to know that our members are also looking out and care for the well-being of our community.

Best Regards,
Jenifer Carey
Renderosity Vice President
