Read the Hacking Team writeup? I don't know their personality, but the person behind that hack is definitely a very talented hacker and the attack was certainly targeted. He got in with a 0day and it was politically motivated.

That 'good hacker' exists.

Wow. I remember scanning this writeup when it first became public, but looking back over it, I'm certainly struck by the author(s) seeming desire to educate their audience...

When thinking of this topic, the Hacking Team hack was one of the first to come to my mind, but political motivations are hard to untangle or to separate from even purely economic motivations (e.g.: commercial competitors disguising motives with political rhetoric).
