经典案例：马谷志郡位于澳大利亚昆士兰州阳光海岸。2001年，一个承包商用黑客攻击并控制了当地150座污水泵站，导致该地区被上百万吨未处理的污水淹没。他这么干的起因是在该地区的一项业务承包中落选。结果，这次卑鄙行为让马谷志郡损失了超过100万美元。

Classic Case: An e-mail subject-lined I LOVE YOU duped people -- some of them inside the Pentagon -- in 2001. The virus it contained, which originated in the Philippines, destroyed files and simultaneously replicated itself, seeding in-boxes as it went. The so-called Love Bug caused an estimated $10 billion in digital damage and lost productivity.
经典案例：2001年，一封主题为“我爱你”的电子邮件把人们弄得晕头转向——包括一些五角大楼的人。这封信含有来自菲律宾的病毒，它在破坏文件的同时进行自我复制，在收件箱里扎根。所谓的“爱虫”所引起的数据破坏和生产力损失估计高达100亿美元。

Classic Case: French firm Vupen hacked Google's (GOOG, Fortune 500) Chrome browser at a security conference last March. Rather than share its technique with the company (and accept a $60,000 award), Vupen has been selling the exploit to higher-paying customers.
经典案例：去年3月举行的一次安全会议上，法国公司Vupen黑掉了谷歌公司（Google）的Chrome浏览器。这家公司并没有（收下6万美元，）把这项技术和谷歌分享，而是把代码卖给了出价更高的客户。
