I have spoken with two IT people, whose servers had been compromised and used to deliver some sort of illegal content, presumably sold from malicious person 1 to malicious person 2 on the black market (silk road or whatever).

Of course it's also possible to have things like a hacked dropbox or google account or whatever - used by bad people - where the legitimate user is essentially victimized, or possibly even framed for having some sort of illegal materials.

I'm looking for reports or stories of that nature - Do any of you know anyone whose servers, or accounts, have been victimized and basically the cops or the FBI come knocking on your door because somebody without your knowledge stuck some illicit stuff in your account, or used your server to do bad stuff on the net?
