From what i understood,
They added several new security checks in april, against account and credit card fraud on there site (based on blacklisting IP addresses). That new system blacklisted some customers because there ip address was marked as suspicious.
An IP based system to detect fraud attempts can be very annoying to set up. For example i have an dynamic IP address it can change after a modem reset. When unlucky i might get an IP that was marked as suspicious...And might get blocked despite i have nothing to with fraud attempts.
In regard to the original post, i hope the hacked site will communicate soon . Sadly a lot of sites owners still try to ignore hacks :(

I found one of those threads, https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/322621/can-t-login-to-make-purchase

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 emailed Renderosity yesterday afternoon asking them if their site had been hacked, but haven't received a reply.
LATER: O.K., just heard back from Renderosity admins, and they say they haven't had any issues recently. They suggested that it was probably CGBytes that got hit. I'd say that qualifies as "similar". Edited by user Tuesday, June 4, 2019 8:35:40 PM(UTC)
