Most of those accounts are newbies. What are the benefits of hacking newbies?

Take a look at this thread where these newbie hacked accounts are used for trust farming/false trading.

That boomin guy is the latest (caught) alt of MariusTi aka steamproject aka tberty aka Dorkslayz etc etc who uses an army of dozens of alts to fake vouch or spam bump his threads of torrent invites (and he's probably had around a 100 banned). He either has a massive stockpile of them or buys them from account sellers but I'm more inclined to believe that he has just farmed/created them himself as there's a lot that were just used to make one or two posts to bump/vouch for his thread then discarded, though some of the older ones recently came back to life and started selling the torrent invites when a lot of his other accounts got found out and banned. This behaviour with him has been going on for years with him and not just on this forum either as he's been banned from numerous forums and never learns.
