Companies tend to keep that kind of information very close to the vest.  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.
