Many people would be surprised to see who's actually running some of those sites and channels and forums.
They are a nuisance to some, but if you work them correctly, you can make good money off their traffic, just like any other adult site.
As for security and "hacking" concerns. That should not be something you need to be reminded about. Your servers should be secure, all the way down to the operating system, not just the scripts on it. You're running a business, and just like any other business you have to keep it secure.
If you have a brick & mortar store, you don't leave cash laying on the counter and expect people to be honest and leave it there when they walk by. If you put up a site and don't take the time to learn what you're doing and secure it, it's just like opening a jewelry store with no locks on the front door.

A 'simple script' may be helpful in detecting and managing shared passwords, but there is NO script to avoid the system resources used by endless brute force (virtually DOS) attacks (part of the hacked password experience) - not to mention the viruses which are constantly put out there just to steal your information. And yes, anti-virus software will fix that too - USUALLY, but NOT always.
You can have the best AV software on the planet and incoming trojans can still bog your system down to the point of freezing.
What I find almost more interesting than the issue itself is how the majority of responses on this board (for this issue and others involving best practices and ethics) consistently support and rationalize warez, hackers, and illegal sites as an unstoppable fact of adult webmasterhood and of no consequence to anyone properly suited up - if you get nailed, it's your fault (stupid).
I do know this is not a matter of anti-hack site folks not speaking up, because I'm hearing a totally different story in another discussion of this very same topic (webmasters loudly condemning any sponsor involved in any way with illegal sites and/or activities).
I don't know if this has to do with differences in age, experience and business acumen, but the crowd here certainly has a consistent posture when it comes to issues like this.
