I heard this discussed on a podcast. Apparently this was where users were given generic (non-root) accounts, and someone was able to get administrator privilages in 30 minutes.
A follow-up test was where a mac was put on the net and hackers were invited to try to hack it (without being given accounts.) No on succeeded. But the test was apparently done at a university, and when the powers-that-be found out about it, then shut it down. They didn't want their university network hacked/crashed. So after about 3 hours the test was called off and called a success because the mac wasn't hacked in that time.
