The Wall Street Journal has found that, for more than a decade, hackers appeared to have unfettered access to Nortel Networks' corporate computer (http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/14/10407275-hackers-accessed-nortel-network-for-more-than-a-decade#) system, downloading potentially sensitive information found in "technical papers, research-and-development reports, business plans, employee emails and other documents."...

Pretty crazy, also the article notes later that:


...infection through former employees who still have Nortel equipment may very well have contaminated other networks (http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/14/10407275-hackers-accessed-nortel-network-for-more-than-a-decade#), especially as the company has broken up in various stages over the years.
