Of course, we've all been hacked by the NSA and others, but outside of state actors: Many years before dropbox, my brother wanted to send me some photos, but couldn't tell me his IP address - otherwise I would have restricted the clients to there. I went ahead and turned on an FTP server and an account for him on my home "server", and told iptables to let anything into that, then forgot to turn it off when he was finished. The FTP server turned out to have a bug which allowed unauthenticated access, and someone started running the eggdrop IRC server on my system, were using /dev/shm as their home directory and who knows what else. I'm not aware of any other non-state sponsored violations of my personal computing resources.
