I saw this first-hand when installing Windows 2000 using Parallels circa 2006. I mistakenly believed the configuration I had chosen had the VM behind the Mac's firewall, but it wasn't. The VM was infected before Windows 2000 could install the latest updates... just a matter of minutes.

This is not as extreme as you are describing, but it was also on the corporate network of a large company, not the open internet.
