Back in the early to mid 90's the root DNS servers were also left in unlocked rooms of some Universities according to stories that I read around that time.

Also for .info domains when they first came out I happen to be at the headquarters of the registry (Afilias when it was in the US) and they had their servers sitting out in the middle of an office that was quite unprotected like you would any tower computer. The janitor could have taken it off line with a vacuum cleaner. (This was early 2000's iirc.)
