what is more valuable than lists of emails they have buyers for and the list being top tiered when it comes to spamming since every person is guaranteed (almost) to have a credit card and willing to join a porn site within the last few days. Stealing card data might be a bit riskier than just yanking email addresses from sponsors who will prolly not call the FBI for that crime. I don't keep CC data on any of my servers, but a crime like that brings a world of shit on your head.
