The key is this sentence in the story: "The hackers lured unsuspecting employees at targeted firms to download infected software from sites controlled by the hackers, or baited them into opening e-mails containing the infected attachments, Yoran said."

The businesses have to protect themselves from thousands of idiots opening attachments. You only need to worry about the people that have access to your keyboard and mouse installing malicious software.
