FBI Stings German Hackers

Documents obtained by a German public radio station show that the DarkMarket carder forum was actually a US FBI sting operation. The site was used as a haven to buy and sell card information, other financial account data and devices used to make cloned cards. The site operated for nearly two years and helped gather intelligence that led to at least 56 arrests and prevented the loss of millions of dollars to fraud.

World Bank Hacked...

The World Bank Group's computer network was reported to have come under attack about half a dozen times since the middle of 2007. Reports say that a minimum of 18 servers were compromised.

A spokesman for the World Bank said "at no point in time was any sensitive information accessed." We have to question though how they can be confident of that statement. It seems likely that if hackers compromised over 18 servers over multiple instances, that at some point they got something out of it.
