It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you hackers are targeting 'nuclear, defense, energy, financial' biz

Pen-y-gors

There is a solution to dodgy e-mail attachments.

1. Set up a desktop on AWS or similar.

2. Require all users to access said desktop via VNC (special version, file transfer disabled)

3. Require all users to only access e-mail using webmail of some sort via a browser on the remote desktop, with attachments being viewed via browser plugins.

4. Wipe and re-install remote desktop every hour.

There's probably still some holes in this, but it's more useable than 'ban the interwebs'.
