The most famous hacks of all time

"Hacking"--for most people this word is associated with a few events and names, most of which were given media attention in the last two years. And though the global interest regarding computer security has blossomed quite recently, hacking has a long history. BBC Online News reporter Mark Ward summarizes the "great hacks of our time," showing the biggest events in computer security history since the creation of the Internet. The coverage seems primarily based on what is of interest to the media, not on events' real significance for the future progress of hacking and virus writing--but still, it's a very interesting story.
