Throws up some legal/moral issues: they are knowingly allowing a compromised server to be used to hack into other companies .

and
"They do warn some victims, he said" . So they know about some attacks & do nothing ?
do they ignore some attacks from that server so that the hackers wont know they are being monitered

are they really not much better than the hackers themselves , they are both doing this for profit .
its a bit like seeing serious crime & ignoring it in the hope of seeing more crime from the same people .
