We catch quite a few each month doing this and they always have a good number of various website passwords that they want to trade for others. One client had a member who had been joining many of their programs different websites since 2006 and there he was, trading his passwords throughout that whole time for others that he wanted. You only need one of those guys to trade with the wrong person.
That's great insight thank you

I completely understand paying members doing a little password trading with paying members of other sites. If one of them did trade with the wrong guy that's doing all this damage then it really kinda sucks because I'm putting a lot of time and effort into getting rid of the bad guy, time I'd usually be using focusing on content, site improvements, etc.
