1. BlackEnergy3 attack against Ukraine's power grid
   
   
2. Target POS
   
   
3. 2016 Presidential Campaign and DCCC email hack
   
   
4. Bangladesh Bank Heist
   
   
5. Twitter Bitcoin Scam
   
   
6. SONY Pictures
   
   
7. The Equifax breach
   
   
8. Okta super admin exploit
   
   
9. and so many more.
   

In addition, nearly every ransomware attack has a social engineering element.
