ASI works in mysterious ways.

Or will the rules only apply to people who aren't on DoD's bad side?

Madness. Traditionally, you can leave security holes open for years, and often nobody notices if nobody bothers to look. But we're approaching the point where any security hole left open at any point could get discovered and exploited quite quickly, even if it's domain-specific or entirely unique, and even if no human interest ever would've occurred. It's like the next step up from those IPv4 scanners that automatically hit WordPress admin URLs and the like -- but rather than only spraying vulnerabilities that have been discovered, they would run independent automated campaigns for each target.
