And when you're talking about "most secret" contracts, those are all classified systems, which are on totally separate networks in totally separate private data centers located on military installations. Unless you've figured out how to break strong symmetric encryption using hardware-generated, hardware-loaded, pre-shared keys controlled in military arms rooms, that means you need physical access. It doesn't necessarily mean you need to break into a military installation. You can always try to break into a contractor SCIF instead, but that still isn't all that easy. My wife once saw some AT&T contractors digging too close to the wrong fiber line at her facility when she was working for the Navy at a contractor site and unmarked black SUVs were there to take those guys away to God knows where within two minutes.
That said, I don't doubt people try. When I was at Raytheon working at a secure facility, a Chinese company bought the property across the street, built a hotel at exactly the same height with windows facing us, and it was conspicuously almost always empty. I don't think demand for hotel rooms was financing that place.
I used to do design/permitting for fiber networks and going around DOD areas/Fiber was always fun. You wind up having to submit your routes, and get vague feedback as to what you need to move, but never how far away/etc. Usually your best bet is to just go to the other side of the road if possible.
