This happens less frequently on adult sites because the hosts in adult tend to firewall their shit, but there are other viruses and malware that log right in from your computer and do it - thus bypassing any firewall or anything.

It doesn't have to be *YOUR* computer that got virused - it could be a designer you hired, a programmer, a copywriter, an seo guy, or even a server admin who's computer was infected with soemthing and had your login data saved somewhere.
