I actually worked at a small company that had something like this happen. We had desk phones but nobody actually used them and one day around lunch every phone rang at the same time (and kept ringing nonstop) and the IT manager ran out of his office screaming not to answer the phones.
He then went to a closet and started ripping cables out and continued yelling not to touch anything until he said so. In the end we did a big meeting where they told us the phones were a distraction and someone was trying to gain access to a server that was hiding in that closet.
It was a weird experience especially since they only had like 30 people at that office.

Plot twist: This rack isn't actually connected to anything, the action is just cathartic
