Ok. I'll bite. What are the risks? As I see it, if you screw up and someone get root access on your server, it's the worse that may happens and then shut down the whole thing is a click away.

Yes, if they do it for fun.

If they do it for money they will install something else and run it in parallel with the blog of the owner of the server. If they are good they'll be lean with resources and not get noticed for months or years. Example: I don't run ps -ef on my server very often and even if I did there are things that can be hidden from ps. It can get complicated.
