HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is so funny.
Muppets. Your development machines were connected on a blind link to the internet? Have you never heard of MS proxy server (if you had to use an MS machine for some reason)? Do you not monitor outgoing traffic? Webmail used for anything other than arranging meetings? Why do you think VPN was invented with secure links (again if you have to use MS). Direct dial for critical component transfer (or courier an encrypted CD)
I develop software for banks and we have *never* had a security breach ever and I bet we are paid less than a quarter you guys are. Software development for large scale projects (or large money projects) is easy. You use certain rules, you keep machines separate and off the network. You have drity machines and clean machines (i.e. outside facing and inside facing) This is pure and simple ineptitude.
PS Has anyone seen any doom3 code? Maybe Carmack uses a firewall or a unix machine, or both.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
