Let me share a very personal experience, one of my close friend having almost 5000$ monthly earning using nulled theme and that theme was changing its AdSense code randomly with nuller’s AdSense code through a base 64 decoded script and due to that he was facing 2000$ loss per month just for using 45$ nulled theme, since I detect that for him and he used the original theme the impact was of 2000$ per month and he bear that loss for almost 1 year so 20,000$ loss just because of using nulled theme and the original theme’s cost was 45$
1 – Its Illegal
2 – The person who nulled themes sometimes put malicious codes and that codes can be used for
a – PHP based DDOS-ing on other servers
b – Altering your AdSense codes to other AdSense code through a base 64 decoded script. (means big loss of AdSense revenue and risk of suspension of your AdSense account)
c – You wont get updates easily if you are using nulled theme because sometimes you get latest version theme and then you wont get updates of that theme easily
d – Your site is open to nuller he can use your hosting for whatever purpose he want
e- your site can be use for phishing
f – your site can be use for bulk mailing so your site will be blacklisted by email servers like spamhaus.
A lot more damage can be done through these nulled themes. so enjoy using nulled theme and damage your web , business and credibility.
