Client/Server application that does not authenticate users

[Brian Erdelyi <brian_erdelyi () yahoo com>]

I have recently discovered a client/server application
where the server does not authenticate users prior to
granting them access.  Sadly, this even happens to be
a financial application for equities trading (sales,
trades, oferrings and order management) used by some
very large firms.

How common is it to find applications that don't
authenticate users prior to granting access?
