Penetration Whitepapers

[Rob Havelt <rob () cobal org>]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could point me at a good resource, as I've been 
looking in several different places, and haven't been able to find quite 
what I needed.

I'm looking for either white papers or case studies or some such detailing 
actual real world attacks (more like real-world computer crime, computer 
fraud, internal attacks, etc. and less on the damage from worms or virus, 
DDoS, or the like) on companies who either didn't know that they had a bad 
security posture, couldn't keep on top of infosec issues, or ones who knew 
(either as the result of a pen test, health check, or some other VA) and 
simply didn't take any steps toward remediation.

There is a ton of theory out there, risk data, and the like, and I have all 
that. I also realize that usually when this happens companies and law 
enforcement agencies, etc. try quite hard to keep the info under wraps for 
the obvious reasons, but I'm thinking that there has to be a few 
whitepapers out there as strictly "cautionary tales".

Anywhere anyone could point me for the info would be much appreciated.
