There have been a few notable hacks to exchanges, Binance, for example [1]. The DAO hack on the Ethereum network, which caused the fork of Ethereum and Ethereum classic, is also notable [2].
I do think the fact that there hasn't been a successful attack on the Bitcoin network is an example of how resilient it is. Safely securing $1 trillion in value on a decentralized network that hasn't been hacked in over a decade of operation, when as you said, it's probably a top-level target, is pretty amazing.
