Correct, we look at the files inside an addon as well as doing a virus scan before approving them. Any addons with an exe or dmg file are manually checked to make sure they aren't doing anything unnecessary. People who post saying they downloaded addon X and later that day their account got compromised more likely were infected months ago before somebody used the password information to steal an account.
