It always amazes me. They say you can never secure a network 100%, if someone wants in badly enough, they'll find a way. But you almost never hear of anyone pulling off some amazing hack to get into these places, it's always the same brain-dead shit that brings them down - well-known, long since patched holes, weak passwords, social engineering that a child should be able to see though. Big companies, little companies, it doesn't matter. Heck, HBGary was supposed to be a security specialist and they fell victim to the same thing. You'd think someone would get wise eventually.
