Have seen that sort of thing happen a lot in environments where mergers and takeovers weren't fully thought through and despite guidance from folks like me, organisations were joined without firewalls despite having widely differing security policies.

Which meant and worm (Slammer was the fun one) would just run free - including through VPN links.
