There were many factors at fault here, none having anything directly to do with ePass.

1) Lazy webmasters use same name and passwords for multiple sites.
2) Inept Traffic place does not setup a robots.txt or properly check credentials, or, oh, even setup .htaccess authentication to keep this data from being crawled.
3) Mean/bad people login to other sites, utilizing information listed in #2 to test #1. Withdraw money.

Yes, it sucks that your money is gone, but your household and car insurance will refuse to pay if you left the door wide open. This whole bullshit is just trying to deflect blame for being stupid. It's a needlessly expensive lesson for some
