I am almost 100% certain that my personal information was not used to access the account. Aside from epassporte who demands your personal information and documents, sponsors for instance just have company name, tax id number, and such.

I never said they actually sent them in, but this is the first part in the scam. Im quite sure they know how the verifications at epassporte go, so if they have offered to send in the docs, im sure they would have sent something. You cought it fast enough so it won't work, but if you did not catch it in time, epass did the first move, reset all your info. Next part was them sending in the documents so they can take control of the account. So either they got your docs from somewhere, or know enough of your personal info to forge docs that look legit, and match with what you have on epass.
Here's one scenario from the top of my head.
You run a porn site. They hack in there, get your personal info from the database, maybe even personal pictures and shit if you keep it on server (many people keep personal things), find out your epass username, and the game begins...
You can be sure they have something, what, i dont know, but they have some info that they were gona use to persuade epass to send them the new login (after it got reset).
