  I can imagine a scenario where a employee of a company uses his laptop
to connect to some not-so-important computer of the company (over a secure
connection, of course), and this might open a way for a pro hacker to
access the company's more important servers if he gets access to the
laptop and with that the login/password to that computer (which might
itself not contain anything crucial, but which might make it much easier
to then hack into the more important systems inside the company).

  Far-fetched? Yes. Impossible? No. I'm almost 100% certain incidents not
unlike this have happened many times in the history of computers.
