In Australia, close to a decade ago, the Microplex (Optusnet) servers had a backdoor that revealed all the passwords via a generated webpage.
Someone found this, posted the link to the newsgroups... then had their computer seized by the Australian Federal Police. Collecting passwords, at least in Australia, can get you in big trouble.
Incidentally, I don't think that's a good thing, but it is a thing. Beware Australian security researchers!
