Microsoft's Homeland Security Servers like "swiss cheese"
http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2003/07/17/Consumers/Microsoftflaw_030717

The announcement comes just after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded a multi-million dollar contract for Microsoft to supply software for the agency's new computers.

"This is one of the worst Windows vulnerabilities ever," said Marc Maiffret of eEye Digital Security in California. Maiffret warns customers that "until they have this patch installed, it will be Swiss cheese — anybody can walk in and out of their servers."
