Surfing the net today while still bleary-eyed from the night before, my eyes were jarred completely open when I found this in another location and am wondering what you might think of the possibility:
"On September 2nd a malicious action was launched by a group of unknown hackers that targeted the database of epassporte customers. As a standard procedure, an order had been issued through the SKNA National Bank to block all access to accounts. SKNA contacted VISA and terminated the program until the security issue would have been resolved.
"At the request of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank (SKNA), on September 2, 2010, Visa blocked network access for prepaid cards issued by SKNA and operated by ePassporte.com to address certain program deficiencies."
Is this information possibly accurate and was it kept secret by ePassport in order to avoid mass panic and to hide it's security vulnerabilities?
This information was gathered from different sources and may not be 100% accurate, but also may be the most credible information so far uncovered."
What say you?
Sally.
I have seen this around as well..... but obviously I have no way to know if it is true.
In any case we'll wait a little longer, if this is the real deal am sure that Epass will be back on their feet in no time, cause this things do happen!
And if its not then we all fucked!
Pretty much my thoughts. If they were hacked and this is true the company should say it. This is something the webmaster community would find much more understandable and forgiveable than the majority of the theories flying around right now.

Could be true and could also be why we have to provide so much info now when asking for withdrawals as they don't know which accounts have been compromised (although I don't know what was required before this problem).
But if it was the reason, surely they would of locked account changes (name address email etc), which they haven't, so I'd say its bullshit.
Either way, I'll be contacting epass about every transaction on my account dated Sept 2nd "That wasn't me, my card must of been compromised".
And the wallet... does that mean epass are not liable for lost funds due to compromised accounts because the funds where in virtual? And did you opt out of the ATM protection program? Oh my...
