Has anyone ever indulged in it or been targeted with it?

i got charged twice.
Once for hacking into email accounts when i was 15yr old... I got caught on a lame way. I made a worm with sub7 in it (included into a gif image), old school Then i just spread it on girl chatboxes and they clicked my links and 10% of those stupid girls had no firewall or virusscanner. Those chicks were my bot army then. I had around 1000 zombie bots on IRC reporting to me. When you are 15 that is cool
Anyway, with sub7 i had some fun, also sniffing some passwords, browsing around in their HDD, flipping the screen, stealing the webcam image, printing shit on their printers... Some lame chick ran away from home the day after my worm got in. They started tracing her internettraffic to check where she could be. Apparently i forgot my proxy server for some minutes because they traced her last login to her mailbox to my computer and thought she was chatting in my room or so.
Long story to a short story, i was seriously fucked but i explained i just 'guessed' her password and that i did not know her. I would never do that again etc etc. They never knew about sub7
Ok, from then on, things got seriously worse. I was involved in fxp board, then moved on to hacking distros etc, later being on ftp topsites, then moved to 100/1000mbit sites and to being a member of a full blown ftp topsites courier group. Living a paranoic life...
Ok then i got interrogated for some lame thing i had nothing to do with, picture on some hacked site. But computer crime unit came to my school, pulled me to the police building, i was charged with hacking, breache of privacy. So then you are sitting in front of computer crime unit police dude and he asks stuff about a picture on the interwebs, knowing that at home you have a computer which is logged in into 30+ftp sites and on IRC channels monitoring bots who are automatically hacking computers. That is not a pleasant feeling.
But again, cops are stupid, and i was only 17yr and 11months or so, still a minor, so i got really lucky and got away with a lot by playing stupid ass. The last thing i wanted was that the cops came to my house and take my pc.
My friend's (the dude who filed the charge only knew me, but someone else who was interrogated ratted the other guy's name) pc was confiscated in this case and his hard drives were scanned, internet traffic was scanned. When we went to the dude with the picture on the internet to apologize and explain we did not hack or put the pic on that gay site (just to have the hacking shit dropped from the file). We tried to explain we both knew the dude who hacked the site but did not do it ourselves (at least not this site  ) and we could only ask to have the pic removed. Next day we both had an additional charge of stalking/breache of something dunno anymore.
The dude who filed the charge was a teacher of mine btw, guaranteed fun the next weeks in the classroom...Long story made short again, they luckily never found out about the hacking shit and the picture case was seponated by the judge because it was obvious there was no proof i had done anything wrong in the picture case and i collaborated well with the computer crime dudes in this case.
I am now in the legal informatics circuit. Less adrenaline, but at least i get some clean sleep at night and no 200bpm heartbeat on every single phonecall or door bell...

I've got my cc information stolen once. I still have no idea at all what caused it, I have firewall, av and malware cleaners...
Only I could think of is that I've used public unsecured WLan, though haven't revealed my cc while using it.
Anyways, got my money back .

My wife's WoW account was stolen once. She had stopped playing for a few months and the subscription wore out she decided she wanted to play again and tried logging into the website which informed her that she was banned. Confused as she wasn't even playing we quickly suspected that it was hacked and contacted Blizzard. Blizzard blamed her saying she gave her info away to have someone play for her (which of course she would never do) unbanned the account and claimed if it happens again it would remain banned.
I scanned her computer with several anti-viruses to see if that's how they obtained it but every single one came out clean. We have no idea how they got into her account. I emailed Blizzard explaining that we did not give the account info away and would like to get as much info as they can give on the person who stole the account so that either we or Blizzard could press charges. They refused to do so. My wife took it as insulting to be blamed for it and never resubscribed to the game.
