  (#14) Celebrities' Cell Phones

  Wikipedia calls it the "iCloud leaks of celebrity photos." But if you don't know this event better as "The Fappening," you've never been on the Internet. In 2014, someone discovered a security loophole in Apple's iCloud storage network that would allow them to make unlimited guesses at passwords. Using brute-force password guessing software, hackers from 4chan quickly went about invading the private photos of celebrities. Most of them, as you've no doubt heard, were nude. Dozens of photos leaked, notably those of Jennifer Lawrence, Kat Dennings, Kate Upton, Kirsten Dunst, and Kaley Cuoco.

  (#16) Sun Microsystems, Google, McDonalds, Yahoo!, and Everywhere Else

  Adrian Lamo is a legendary hacker who's gotten into practically every secure network you can think of. His fame eventually reached far enough to warrant attention from NBC News, which asked him to demonstrate his talents on-air. Not wanting to disappoint his fans, Lamo spent the next five minutes hacking into the secure computer network of NBC itself. After that, he took control of the screen captions and replaced them all with "GOAT." All right, that didn't happen... but wouldn't you do it?

  (#13) Prisons, ft. Snoopy and a Cat

  For a place designed to keep people in and modeled on the concept of a medieval fort, you'd think prisons would be pretty hard to break into. And certainly, most American supermax prisons are. Hey, with the largest prison population on Earth, we've got practice. England, though, seems to have a bit of a problem in this department.

  In one case, a man broke into a prison wearing a Snoopy costume, intending to snatch a prisoner and dance his way back out. Another Englishman broke into a prison to steal $13,000 in cigarettes from inmates. In Brazil, guards noticed a suspicious looking cat wandering around the grounds. Upon closer inspection, they realized the cat had been strapped with cell phones, files, knives, and other implements of malfeasance.

  (#15) The Pentagon's Mainframe

  You've seen this one so often in "hacker" movies it's almost become a trope. But it really has happened, and probably far more often than anyone would like to admit. The most high-profile case of Pentagon hacking came in 1983, back when computers were made of matchsticks and hamster wheels. Hacker Kevin Mitnick was arrested by the FBI for illegally accessing the Pentagon's computers that year, and not for the first or last time. He had previously, and has since, broken into the FBI itself. He now runs cyber security firm Mitnick Security.

  (#8) SeaWorld

  If this one doesn't make you laugh, you're just dead inside. In 2012, three Aussies got sloshed to the gills (not uncommon) and decided to take a trip to Gold Coast SeaWorld. Only problem: it was closed. So they scaled a fence, broke in, and had a grand ol' time swimming with the dolphins.

  While none of them remember exactly how it happened, the trio woke up the next day to a fascinating new houseguest: Dirk the Penguin. That's right, three guys drunkenly kidnapped a penguin from SeaWorld. Hangover 4, anyone? (Dirk was returned to SeaWorld, and the gentlemen in question used the video above in court as proof that they did not intend to harm the traumatized bird.)

  (#1) The United States

  America is a big country and big places aren't usually that difficult to sneak into. There are a wealth of options for sneaking into the US, whether it be sneaking across one of our borders with Canada or Mexico or just hopping on a plane and never returning to your home country. Determination goes a long way.
