UK-based Linux Format (http://www.linuxformat.com/) magazine was pulled from Barnes and Noble bookstores in the U.S. (http://tuxradar.com/content/learn-hack-was-pulled-barnes-and-noble) after featuring an article called 'Learn to Hack'. They used 'hack' in the populist security sense, rather than the traditional sense, and the feature — which they put online (http://www.tuxradar.com/content/learn-hack/) — was used to illustrate how poor your server's security is likely to be by breaking into it."
