Only 15 sites? Wow!! Anyways, these passes are for real. However, the moment the site notices that lots of people are logging in with the same pass with different proxies, then access is denied. These so-called popular sites are so easy to hack in because there are so many members. The more the members, the more passwords that can easily be found. Whether it's bruteforcing or exploiting, it makes it easier to do either one if there are more members. A lot of crackers/exploiters look into the logging system and get the usernames and passwords there. Now if there weren't that many members on the site, then it makes it harder. Passes can still be found but many don't try to crack/exploit it for many reasons. One reason could be that they're just not interested. Another could be that the site may not be as great. Also, these small sites might be using a different billing system than what most are used to. For example, there's this billing system called Verotel. It uses digits as usernames and passwords. It can either be a 7:7, 8:8, 7:8, or 8:7 digit combo. The thing is, you can't bruteforce it. So you'll have to use exploits. For lots of people, this is a drag since it's one extra step you have to do to get into the site. Regarding the 15 sites, there are more. Just that people go to the most visited sites. Also, other sites you might know are still unknown to others in this forum. But overall, it depends on the person's tastes, his/her skill(s), or luck if he or she wants to get into a well-known or unknown site. Some people find sites out of luck, so you never know how many more sites are out there that have yet to be found.
