Yes, and several have been posted here and in the newsgroups over the
last year.  Several have also been presented at the FIRST
conferences.  Ask anyone on a response team, where they deal with
dozens of breakins a week (or a day, in some cases), and they can give
you lots of evidence (assuming their internal policies allow them to
disclose details of cases).
