It wouldn't be that low risk, as an example, recently some high profile Estonians got busted for viewing headlines from a business website before the articles were published, allowing them to have insider information with witch to buy & sell stocks with. They're currently having their asses handed to them, even though all they were doing was exploiting a flaw in the website's code and simply viewing the headlines with a spider.
