Yes. This happened to a company I worked for in the UK in the last 1990s. We had a half rack full of NT4 machines and someone got into our kit and used it to run a pr0n FTP. They took us to court to pay up and the magistrate said we had no bill to pay and that it was a waste of court time as it wasn't intentional.
You're right about reporting a crime though even if the police don't take it seriously. A crime ref number goes a long way on its own.
Edit: we had to move our kit sharpish though as the company exercised their right to throw it on the street within 24 hours.
- throwaway283719 12y agoAm I right in assuming that "pr0n" is some kind of 1337, 80s hackerish misspelling of "porn"?
- ben0x539 12y agoYes. There's some semantic information associated with the choice of that misspelling, though.
- monstermonster 12y agoI assume that was a pr0n whinger? I used that intentionally to prevent the association of HN with the other form of the word. It is polite IMHO.
