Why...

Are individual workstations topologically available to such attacks? The only things that should be "hackable" are systems (placed on the DMZ) that have providing public information as their specific role in life.

Tom, is there a way possible to bounce these attacks into no mans land of cyber space, or ideally directly back at the source and clog up their tubes ?

Microsoft IE and Microsoft Outlook. Just visit a webpage or open the wrong email... Dollars to donuts they don't restrict outbound at all either.

Guess I've just gotten working for military and banking customers. They tend to lock their networks down pretty hard. Heck, half the time I can't reach my own web-mail server because it's not on a list specifically approved sites. These customers also make it so that EVERYTHING that goes out has to be proxied. If there isn't a proxy service set up, it ain't going out.
