My favorites:

Leet words of concern or indicating possible illegal activity:

•”warez” or “w4r3z”: Illegally copied software available for download.

•”h4x”: Read as “hacks,” or what a malicious computer hacker does.

•”pr0n”: An anagram of “porn,” possibly indicating the use of pornography.

•”sploitz” (short for exploits): Vulnerabilities in computer software used by hackers.

•”pwn”: A typo-deliberate version of own, a slang term often used to express superiority over others that can be used maliciously, depending on the situation. This could also be spelled “0\/\/n3d” or “pwn3d,” among other variations. Online video game bullies or “griefers” often use this term.
