    1. It was a porn convention so using a name like that wouldn't exactly be pulling it out of their asses It's not like they're going to use their own name or the name of their own company
    2. If they were "on" your computer and watching you move money around, then voila, they know all about Epassporte. Just like someone hitching on to my computer would know all about the little hometown bank I use

    Just making an assumption, that's all. I guess I just really hate to think it was someone in the biz

        Your password wouldn't have been sent plaintext through the air, so even if someone was doing packet monitoring, they couldn't have gotten your password that way.

        Unless they actually got a trojan / keylogger installed on your box?

        Either way it sucks hairy ass (and not in a good way), I hate to see good people getting victimized.
        It's possible to defeat it. the attacker could have poisoned jfk's arp cache and positioned himself between jfk and the hotel router.

            That really sucks that that happened to you, especially when you do so much which is great for everyone. Some people really suck.

                True - very true! JFK is one of the hardest working peeps in our business and ya' never ever hear anyone say anything negative about him. Sucks for something like this to happen to someone with such a good heart but our industry has it's share of real scum and this is just another example of how they operate.

                If ePassporte does not help JFK get his money back or at least tell him who stole it - they are no better than the guy who stole the money in the first place. I would like to think that ePassporte would step-up do the right thing here but history has shown that they usually do not. Epassporte has not impressed me with how they've handled stolen money in the past and I won't hold my breath that JFK's situation will be any different.

                Interesting to note that my bank has a fraud department that looks into stuff like this. Does ePassporte have a fraud department? If so...what are they responsible for? What's the use in having a fraud department if they can't (or won't) pursue the scammers?

                I currently have $2.18 in my ePassporte account. If someone wants to rip me off...more power to them. I try not to use ePassporte for anything unless I have no other choice and then I get the money out of there as quickly as possible. That appears to be the only way to keep your money safe. Better to store your money in a place where it's guaranteed - and that is not an ePassporte account!

                    Dam that sucks, What Epassorte account was it drawn from..? let's make sure no one pays on it and if someone like epass would like to disclose the loser' that would be help full...get the ip of the transaction and other related info

                    then give it to my boyz Sal, Anthony, Bruno and Dominick...hehe

                        I would be surprised if epass can give out that information based on privacy laws. I would assume that would be the only reason for them not to give it out.

                        I to get my money out as fast as possible.


                        I use EDGE from time to time and it works great, for times when I can't I use a VPN to a server where I use a remote desktop. That is when I am doing something more then checking google maps or something.

                        On a side note I got this link in an email, was it sent to everyone with a ccbill account? or just people who have attended the forum at some point?

                            Yea - the scammers are having a field-day with this. They are breaking into peoples accounts...stealing thousands and thousands of dollars all the while knowing that ePassporte won't reveal their identities because it's a privacy issue. Something is really fucked up about that situation ... wouldn't you say?

                                        It's not right. If a scammer can break into someone's account and steal a few thousand dollars and ePassporte does not and will not do anything about it - even though they could - that really says a lot about ePassporte.

                                        If that $3000 was stolen out of Chris Mallick's account - you bet your ass something would be done about it - and quickly!

                                            Would YOU give out information to get someone back 3 grand if you knew very well it could mean you would end up behind bars and have fines levied against you and your company? What if doing that froze epass's account and everyone with any money with them ended up losing it all?

                                            I doubt very much that the people at epass are just sitting behind their monitor thinking to themselves that its only 3 grand and not worth their time to do anything.

                                            Dean, I dont know you personally, but from your other posts you always seemed like someone intellegent, but it seems your just being ignorant in thinking that they wouldnt do whatever they LEGALLY could.
                                            If they started breaking laws they would be no better then the theifs.

                                                It doesnt matter actually.. all that information is being sent through the air and anyone with the right skills can intercept it.

                                                Even with SSL that only makes it a little bit harder but not very, if someone was sniffing his packets from the very first packets sent then they already have the crypto keys and crypto suite information that they need to decrypt everything as its being transmitted.

                                                The lesson here is to avoid transmitting your private information through the air where anyone can intercept it. Encrypted or not.

                                                    I would never ask ePassporte to break the law. I would only ask them to stand up and take some responsibility to ensure that their customers money is safe. And if their customers money is stolen - that they do everything possible to either get it back or help with prosecuting the offenders. So far...it doesn't seem that this is the case. I have seen many posts from people complaining about their money getting stolen but I have yet to see one post where someone complimented ePassporte for doing everything possible to help them get their money back or help to find out who the offenders were. Of course I'm not here 24 hours a day so it is possible that I missed such a post.

As I said before - if this $3000 was stolen out of Chris Mallick's account - you bet your ass something would be done about it. You don't think Chris would just sit back and let someone break into his account and steal thousand of dollars from him do ya'?

I would only ask them to stand up and take some responsibility to ensure that their customers money is safe. And if their customers money is stolen - that they do everything possible to either get it back or help with prosecuting the offenders. So far...it doesn't seem that this is the case. I have seen many posts from people complaining about their money getting stolen but I have yet to see one post where someone complimented ePassporte for doing everything possible to help them get their money back or help to find out who the offenders were. Of course I'm not here 24 hours a day so it is possible that I missed such a post.

                                                        I dont see posts about people getting paid by sponsors on time either... Maybe I should start every time I get a payment, just so you will know who is paying on time...
                                                        I know thats not exactly the same, but its just how it is, people don't post when things go as planned, and often then dont post when a problem has been fixed, or if they do its an old bump that goes un-noticed.

                                                        Its already evident that epass has looked into it to some extent, even given JFK some info on who it was.
                                                        Your just ASSUMING that epass isnt doing everything they can. Do you know for sure that they havent gathered all the information they can get and given it to the proper authorities? How do you know its not in some officers in box, or that an officer reviewed and just pushed it aside?

                                                        Do you want epass to just refund every "theft" that happens? how do you know people wont just scam them by saying something was a theft? Have you read the epass TOS? do you understand them? agree to them?

                                                        If Chris Mallick's account was hacked I'm sure something would happen, but I couldn't tell you what. For all I know his legal team would force him to do exactly what is being done for JFK.

                                                            I dont know where epass is located nor do I know the privacy laws there.
                                                            But I know if they were here in Canada giving out that information could very likely mean jail time and fines.

                                                            Would YOU give out information to get someone back 3 grand if you knew very well it could mean you would end up behind bars and have fines levied against you and your company? What if doing that froze epass's account and everyone with any money with them ended up losing it all?

                                                            I doubt very much that the people at epass are just sitting behind their monitor thinking to themselves that its only 3 grand and not worth their time to do anything.

                                                            Dean, I dont know you personally, but from your other posts you always seemed like someone intellegent, but it seems your just being ignorant in thinking that they wouldnt do whatever they LEGALLY could.
                                                            If they started breaking laws they would be no better then the theifs.
                                                            Maybe they can't give out that information, but the least they can do is refund his money to his account. That would do a LOT to reinstate confidence in their service, don't you think?

                                                                        Just making an assumption, that's all. I guess I just really hate to think it was someone in the biz

                                                                            #1 - The day people arrived, someone set up a fake access point

                                                                            #2 - Their access point was set up as a http/https relay. A fake epass site was installed on the local AP server. When people logged into paypal or epass, first their login & user name was captured on the local machine & then relayed onto the real epassporte site, so all you saw was a seamless login.

                                                                            #3 - Several logins were stolen within the first few hours. Everyones checking their balance before they hit the bar/strip club for cash.

                                                                            #4 - These new stolen logins from people at the show, were used to move the $ around in a giant loop.

                                                                            Now depending on the # of logins compromised, the # of transactions those other accounts completed themselves/transferred to other accts.. And the # of days between it happening, & JFK alerting epassporte. That money could be lost in a "literal" circle jerk void forever.

                                                                            Epassporte might literally have to contact 100 customers & confirm each transaction to another party.

                                                                            Your not dealing with a hotel employee. Your dealing with someone that has probably been using epassporte for years & hatched a little pre-meditated scheme months ago.

                                                                            In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this has been going on for several years. Just in amounts people don't immediately notice, or don't wish to embarrass themselves in public.

                                                                            I wouldn't be surprised if more people come forward in the following weeks with the same complaints.

                                                                            Then again...it could have been some idiot using a xp exploit & a keylogger. Or even a lost access key social engineering trick with the hotel front desk, while your laptop sat tucked away seemingly safe.

                                                                            All we can do is hope little bloodsuckers like this get caught, or karma brings them a hefty dose of the AIDS

                                                                                You've not been the first in this account circle-jerk-scam scheme, as we've read numerous time on here and other boards now... just to add an extra cherry on top they've gotten you at a show, which means it 100% is someone from within our own rows!

                                                                                A quite easy solution to fuck up this scammers world:

                                                                                ePass sends out a letter with a set of TAN's (Transaction-Numbers) for each customer - it needs some work on their end of course, but it's worth it. This way you have to maintain a real address on file as well, as you need these TAN's every once in a while, as each TAN list has only around 100 to 200 TAN's which are used up every X months.

                                                                                Then for each transaction you make, you have to enter a specified TAN from your very own list, if it matches - the payment goes thru, if it doesnt match, the payment doesnt go thru and you'll get a warning - 3 wrong TAN's = ePass Account locked down, you have to contact ePass.

                                                                                Would work with the same generator PayPal uses as well, but that means buying these generators and send them out, where paper obviously is cheaper...

                                                                                Just a thought to add a layer of security that prevents all of this crime.

                                                                                It's an old standard with the banks over here and it works like a charme.

                                                                                Personally, I would'nt mind paying a few cents more per transaction to cover the cost of this added layer of security - if they raise it from .25 to .35 on all of the accounts - which doesnt hurt anyone directly that bad, in essence it would very well make up for the cost I hope - epass would have to calculate that though...

                                                                                    You might want to scan your computer with all virus/spyware tools available to get rid of keyloggers. Unfortunately many pros use custom keyloggers who cant be deteced by virus scanners (simply because they are not in common circulation) so cleaning out your PC might be best.

                                                                                    If you still have a keylogger installed, they will get all your new passwords and other accounts.

                                                                                            I know thats not exactly the same, but its just how it is, people don't post when things go as planned, and often then dont post when a problem has been fixed, or if they do its an old bump that goes un-noticed.

                                                                                            Its already evident that epass has looked into it to some extent, even given JFK some info on who it was.
                                                                                            Your just ASSUMING that epass isnt doing everything they can. Do you know for sure that they havent gathered all the information they can get and given it to the proper authorities? How do you know its not in some officers in box, or that an officer reviewed and just pushed it aside?

                                                                                            Do you want epass to just refund every "theft" that happens? how do you know people wont just scam them by saying something was a theft? Have you read the epass TOS? do you understand them? agree to them?

                                                                                            If Chris Mallick's account was hacked I'm sure something would happen, but I couldn't tell you what. For all I know his legal team would force him to do exactly what is being done for JFK.
                                                                                            Well,they did NOT give me anything, its part of the online statement.
                                                                                            Thats is where I got the info from,I was just told that they did transfer the funds to 2 other accts and that it was gone.
                                                                                            They are investigating. This thread should not be turned into an Epass bashing one.
                                                                                            As I have stated,never had a problem with them prior to this and will not stop using the system, with further precautions put in place.

These types of viruses record keystrokes, and as such, when you enter in a password, it records it. The hacker can then have access to the keystrokes you used at certain websites.

                                                                                                Being that it seems to be someone within the industry and/or someone targetting people in the industry, it sounds like there is a site(s) out there distributing this keylogger.

                                                                                                        in fact they probably changed al to ann but kept the same first initial which is more likly the name they looked up and tried to fake.

                                                                                                                #1 - The day people arrived, someone set up a fake access point

                                                                                                                #2 - Their access point was set up as a http/https relay. A fake epass site was installed on the local AP server. When people logged into paypal or epass, first their login & user name was captured on the local machine & then relayed onto the real epassporte site, so all you saw was a seamless login.

                                                                                                                #3 - Several logins were stolen within the first few hours. Everyones checking their balance before they hit the bar/strip club for cash.

                                                                                                                #4 - These new stolen logins from people at the show, were used to move the $ around in a giant loop.

                                                                                                                Now depending on the # of logins compromised, the # of transactions those other accounts completed themselves/transferred to other accts.. And the # of days between it happening, & JFK alerting epassporte. That money could be lost in a "literal" circle jerk void forever.

                                                                                                                Epassporte might literally have to contact 100 customers & confirm each transaction to another party.

                                                                                                                Your not dealing with a hotel employee. Your dealing with someone that has probably been using epassporte for years & hatched a little pre-meditated scheme months ago.

                                                                                                                In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this has been going on for several years. Just in amounts people don't immediately notice, or don't wish to embarrass themselves in public.

                                                                                                                I wouldn't be surprised if more people come forward in the following weeks with the same complaints.

                                                                                                                Then again...it could have been some idiot using a xp exploit & a keylogger. Or even a lost access key social engineering trick with the hotel front desk, while your laptop sat tucked away seemingly safe.

                                                                                                                All we can do is hope little bloodsuckers like this get caught, or karma brings them a hefty dose of the AIDS

You have to be very careful about the wireless networks you allow your computer to connect to. There was a study recently, that went to various airports around the country to check for rogue wireless ad hoc networks. They found them in almost every airport they checked!

                                                                                                                Most wireless users will connect to one of these adhoc networks automatically, and anything and everything you do on the web can be intercepted. Anywhere there is free wireless, you need to make sure you are connected to the right wireless network. Dont let windows or whatever OS you use, connect to the first open network it finds, automatically, or you'll be a victim eventually.

                                                                                                                            It happened after I logged in, to check on my balance so I can pay someone there. Before you all start bashing Epass,it was NOT their fault,the THIEF,or THIEF'S had my password so there was no reason for the funds not being able to be transferred.

                                                                                                                            It went tru 3 accounts before being withdrawn.

                                                                                                                            All night after that, I am looking at people smiling at me shaking my hand,asking for their pics to be taken and wondering are they the ones who just done this to me?

                                                                                                                            I was not going to post about this, thinking the THIEF is probably reading this board and is chuckling right about now as to how he fucked me over, but It should be brought out in the open.

                                                                                                                            Appearently there are people in our midsts who follow the shows around and prey on fellow webmasters.

                                                                                                                            So a word to the wise, next time you want to use your CC for an online transaction at a webmster event with wireless connection...............DONT............. there is a very real possibility that someone is watching you, waiting to steal what you worked your ass off for

                                                                                                                            I hope you reported this to the police. There's a pretty good likelyhood it was someone at the hotel, a friend of mine manages a rather well known hotel in toronto where they quietly fired an IT manager for hacking into bank accounts that were accessed from the hotels network awhile back. Sadly the hotels are usually more interested in protecting their reputations than reporting these people to the cops.

That would do a LOT to reinstate confidence in their service, don't you think?

                                                                                                                                    Bad for the bottom line when you refund any money that anyone says was "stolen".
                                                                                                                                    I am not saying that I doubt JFK actually had money stolen, but I do know people would take advantage of the system if refunds were given easy. Just look at how many people abuse paypal, they pay, get what they paid for and then reverse the transaction, even if there is no money in you account the thief gets the money from paypal.

And I would of done the same as JFK, he is letting our community know what happended so mabey it won't happen to anyone else, plus mabey he will get lucky and find this loser / thief..

Not trying to put down epass - but even they know what the deal is.

To let the board know that there are scammers who work in Adult industry? *gasp!*

                                                                                                                                                                                        If you hadn't figured that out after working 5 years in this business, then you are even a bigger moron that i thought.
                                                                                                                                                                                        I'm not sure if I've ever seen a more idiotic, mean spirited and pointless post on this board ever.

                                                                                                                                                                                        I nominate you as ignorant ranting asshole of the year.

                                                                                                                                                                                        first of all, it's a good warning thread to people that may not realize how easy it is to get hacked at the shows.
                                                                                                                                                                                        Secondly, this thread is legitimate news to people in this industry, most of whom know, like and have great respect for JFK
                                                                                                                                                                                        Thirdly, the ONLY moron I see around here is you.... in that last post.
