Ask HN: Real-life, ridiculous security incidents?

I was reading some of the comments in this submission about attackers trying to brute force ssh credentials.

In the comments fellow HN'ers were discussing the possibilities of XSS attacks using the password.

This had me thinking, have there actually been such successful attacks in your experience and how regular are they? Think of some kind of ridiculous XSS using <script>...</script> or anything similar.

Are these still successfully happening in 2023?
