The ones that get in without you knowing, you will never know about. So long as they don't fuck with anything, the company who wrote the software will never mention it. Just tell you and update is available or auto update if that is your setup. Most porn hackers are a mixture of both. They get in, they get the password files, they get out and you never hear from them again. What you do hear from is the customers who are wondering why their account is blocked and who also don't appreciate it when you assume they must have traded their password with someone else.

Yes, but lets not get into a big hacker/cracker - whitehat/blackhat hacker discussion.
All I'm saying is that anyone choosing to use an open source application for their affiliate program would loose my business. And I would guess they would loose the business of most of the people who plan to stay in this business for a long time.
I'm all for the TGP application. Although I'm not into TGP's I can see how it could be a valuable learning tool for new webmasters wanting to get into the business without having to invest a lot of money.
