And then it hit me, is there a business here? Imagine a web crawler that found these pages and then automatically categorized them by site. Imagine if an interface could be developed to automatically suspent these IDs without human intervention. Surely eliminating significant amounts of stolen traffic would represent some value. Am I nuts here? Is anyone doing anything like that yet? Is it a viable business?

you mean password forums?
yes there is lots of them out there. we shut them down daily, email abuse depts, but then they just move hosts and start up again. its a pain.
