Some more recent examples:

Amazon S3 outage due to single bit corruption. (Unclear whether the
corruption occurred in memory or during transmission, but the cascade
failure is reminiscent of the LSDB corruption that Louis Mamakos
described.)

Bitsquatting: it can be proftable to register domain names that are one
bit different from popular domain names - like typosquatting but relying
on data corruption rather than typing errors.
