Highly unlikely that they are hacking the site. Wouldn't put it past them to create a profile to login and check things out though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the most they could see from simply logging in are any unhidden sites in your profile...not actual trades.
Still, they could get an idea of which sites make up your network...and also see the fact that these domains are on a link trading site.
Would be stupid to punish people just for being on LinkSpun though, as anyone could add your sites on there including a competitor. Then again, Google has already admitted that they will punish you for things completely out of your control which any competitor may do:
