site shares bitcoin addresses database

Do they have bots scanning for these?

Almost certainly.

I dont understand how they can be scanning addresses so quick? 

An optimized search of the list shouldn't take more than a fraction of a second.  Generating, signing, and broadcasting the transaction that steals the funds should also be a fraction of a second.

just found one wallet but no more btc on it. There was 2 btc in spt 2013

Just be careful clicking over to the site in case it's phishing or stealth downloading shit to actually copy your wallet info if it's there.

As much as I detest knowing hackers would do all this shit instead of legit work, I have to hand it to them and give credit - it does take legitimate work to pull off a hack that successfully steals money...so if they can get it, they kinda deserve it

I've sent a tiny test amount to a known address (Password: 1337 - 15w3bGS6L2EGXamLPNEPfPUWHCnjqZQ35v) and it took exactly 2 seconds to be taken. Amazing

How did it get taken exactly?

People use scripts that monitor addresses of brain wallets and when coins are sent to the brain wallet they will push  a TX that sends the coins to an address that they control

This site is obviously put up by somebody or somebodies not at all interested in the long-term viability of the bitcoin network.  Quite the opposite imho.
