Not. Security, control and who gets into what is a major military concern,
and most if not all of the really important stuff is not accessible from
the outside, let alone a kid with a C-64. There's lots of publicity about
breakins to systems which are less than essential, many of which are so
poorly administered that the manufacturer's default superuser access codes
were never changed. It's a matter of priorities. And pretending
vulnerability is a valid military tactic.
