Read Microsoft's official article
A parent's primer to computer slang. It’ll sure make you guys laugh.
Apparently M$ thinks that leetspeak is “the digital equivalent of pig Latin with a twist of hieroglyphics”. OMG WTF LOL!!!!1111!!
But they’ve also identified an underground leetspeak community, since: “It's important to remember that the leetspeek community encourages new forms and awards individual creativity, resulting in a dynamic written language that eludes conformity or consistency.”
And I laughed a lot with the following section: “The first series is of particular concern, as their use could be an indicator that your teenager is involved in the theft of intellectual property, particularly licensed software.”
The words they mention in this first series are warez, h4x, sploitz and pwn. (For “pwn” they also mention that “Online video game bullies or "griefers" often use this term.”)
Very good reading. Thanks for the link
