    Using an illegal template can increase the risk of your site being taken over, the only way to be sure of not being taken over is reading through each line looking for any odd executions or include's but your more in risk of losing your account for using an illegal template

    see my friend had installed a joomla template from a warez site, can this add on to the risk of the site being taken over.

    Sometimes people can add code that forwards all usernames/passwords. But in general there just bad news, I doubt any hosting company would keep the site online if they found out they was using an illegal template
