Renderotica Community,

The membership database of a site similar to this one has been compromised. User names and passwords were obtained. If you use the same user name and password combination on other sites similar to this one that you use here, we highly recommend updating your passwords. Since they have user names and passwords, I would assume they have email addresses as well.

Let me be clear, our membership database was not compromised. The list was obtained from another site similar to this one. If you do not use the same user name and password combination on other sites similar to this one, your account is not affected.

Again, there has been no breech of our services or data beyond the compromised user names and passwords coming from the other site.

We apologize for this inconvenience to our users. We have taken every precaution to protect you and your accounts. We have notified the site(s) where the user list and passwords came from.

Finally, we will not be naming which site was compromised. It is possible for anyone, no matter their efforts, to be compromised by determined hackers. The administrators of the possibly affected site(s) have been notifed. And we have shared all the information we can.

Thank you

Unfortunately we cannot be more specific. The best thing you can do is update your passwords on any other sites similar to this one (and on this one as well if you use the same user name and password combo on one of those similar sites).

I think if one is concerned about a particular site where you purchase items and if the same passwords are used as those of Rotica / cgbytes site, then go to the site and review the forums,  those sites should post some sort of notice or send you an email in regards to this matter. Especially if they have been given a heads up and if they don't.... save yourself some grief and as mentioned change your username and or password.

That's just it, what particular site? 

It's like saying "One of your cards in your wallet had its information stolen. It wasn't us, your AmEx card, but we can't tell you what card it is. But if you ever use a card when you do certain things, then you should cancel all the ones that you use when you do certain things and get new ones."

Is it my Visa card? My ATM card? My Subway stamp card? My gym membership card?

It's Renderosity. They've been compromised multiple times over the years. Daz has as well.

The people who end up getting burned are the ones that pay directly with a credit card vs. paying via paypal.

I only use a prepaid gift card for any purchase there as three different times I have made a purchase and within 5 days my credit card info had been stolen and used elsewhere... This required me to cancel the card and get a replacement. After three times it was easier to get a small gift card to use there.

Could you PM me with the details? My username and PW here are unique, so I'm not worried about a compromise, but I'm curious which site it is, if it's the one I'm thinking of, I've had problems, too.

Could you provide a link to this thread? I don't spend a lot of time in DAZ's forums, so it's quite possible for me not to have known about it, and now I can't find anything there referencing this. Thanks in advance...

LATER: O.K., I did find this thread (https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/323101/warning-to-all-paypal-users), but this was related to someone getting a phone call from a scammer, not anything related to a site being compromised. Is this what you were referring to?

I was referring to Drafter69's post. I'm assuming he's referring to Rendo as it's been hacked a few times and multiple times I've seen people post on other 3D boards about it. Again, it's always linked to people using their Credit Card to pay for the product, instead of going through PayPal and paying via them.

Hmm. I've been using 'Rosity for almost 20 years, never had an issue that I knew of from them. I have had cards hacked, and I buy from them, here, and DAZ several times a week, so I really can't say for sure. I'll be sure to change my PW over there. Thanks, Snarl.
