Wow. This is a good #discuss topic! I wouldn't say any apps I've worked on in the past has been hacked. However, maybe "socially engineered." I had an article network I created in which I had an algorithm that helped maintain the freshness on the homepage. With that being said, users of the website figured out how to manipulate the algorithm to place their own articles at the very top of the home page.

So not hacked per say.
