MasterCard security issues?
Just noticed the below internal message in my ePassporte account. Anyone have the scoop on this? It smells like BS to me. I imagine it was a processing fee issue and ePassporte felt MasterCard was getting more than their fair share. If this is a smear campaign based on something like that, ePassporte just screwed up big time. I smell a lawsuit brewing…
