Sure, I certainly agree it's not the best solution!
I did for a 2 week period initially keep the database under-wraps, before
posting here.
I was letting the admins know back then that thyy had problem but the
number of people who seems to care was very small.
I'm not sure if it's the knowledge that they're more likely to be abused
by script kiddies, or the fast that they are being abused, that makes them
close down. I can only hope it's the former ;)
