Is there a "security fail forum / website" with lessons learned?



I have done some searching, and cannot seem to find this. Does anyone know of a "security fail forum" that lists embarrassing and / or damaging results from lack of security practices? I would like it to serve to educate everyone on how important computer security really is, kind of like the drunk driving horrors video is meant to discourage drunk driving. It would be nice if it also pointed out what could have been done differently, or the lesson learned. One hypothetical example would be:


Security Fail:


Someone let their former friend use their computer, but they did not log out of their bank account before hand. This "friend" transferred all the funds of the owners bank account to their own bank account! The owner lost $10,000, quite a costly lesson!


Lesson(s) Learned:



  • Do not let your friends use your computer

  • If you do let your friends use your computer, make sure you watch what they are doing

  • Log out of websites when you are done on them


Following any of these practices would have prevented the incident.
