OnPassive has disabled access to its “ecosystem” services.

A new notice on OnPassive’s website reads;

Ecosystem is temporarily unavailable

Our website is currently unavailable while we make some improvements to our service. We’ll be open for business again soon, please come back shortly to try again. Thank you for your patience.

As per OnPassive’s website, its ecosystem was a way to

Access Digital Solutions On The SaaS Subscription Model From ONPASSIVE ECOSYSTEM, A Multi-Platform Hub For Business Acceleration.

In other words, OnPassive ecosystem was used to access the company’s online services.

OnPassive’s website traffic is difficult to track due to suspected manipulation. The same is true of OnPassive’s social media accounts (obvious engagement manipulation).

Nonetheless, SimilarWeb has tracked a decline in OnPassive  website traffic for most of 2024. The last post on OnPassive’s FaceBook page is dated June 23rd.

The SEC sued OnPassive and owner Ashraf Mufareh in August 2023.

The federal regulator has accused Mufareh and his wife of defrauding thousands of consumers out of over $108 million.

After five years of broken promises, it was only after the SEC sued Mufareh that OnPassive began rolling out barely functioning services.

In October 2023 the SEC’s OnPassive case was referred to mediation. The primary goal of mediation is for the SEC and OnPassive to reach a settlement.

As of June 2024 a settlement hadn’t been reached, but the court has allowed for additional time pending the scheduled June 2025 trial.

Whether OnPassive disabling its ecosystem is related to ongoing mediation proceedings is unclear.

 

Update 23rd July 2024 – OnPassive’s website collapsing is likely due to employees in India going on strike. OnPassive’s Indian employees claim they haven’t been paid in six months.
