In the 2000, I was working on a big telco company. One day, a guy made the mistake of sending his "hilarious and NSFW" 4 MB PowerPoint presentation email (that was a huge email back then) to a list including EVERYONE working on the company. That means around 2K people just on the same building. According to Wikipedia, right now it has over 250K employees, probably a similar number back in the day. I don't know how many it has back in the day and were affected, but it included for sure all the high executives.
Other than the embarrassment of the NSFW material, the network and email were completely blocked for most part of the day, causing severe troubles, at least to the whole building were I was working.
The guy was an external consultant which was "moved to a different project" :-D It was absolutely epic.
