I am with you 100% on that. The ramifications from a marketing standpoint would probably cost more that the initial damage by the intruder. I did get a link from someone http://www.cybercrime.gov/cccases.html which has a few. It actually has some pretty entertaining information on it. Thanks to everyone who responded.

The multi-billion dollar estimates are worth about the electrons that they were communicated with (see Rob Rosenberger's diatribes about this at www.vmyths.com). Assuming you can even get a company to officially admit that they were cracked (which is unlikely) or hit by a virus, they are not likely to tell you how much damage was done.
