Tunnel intruder

There's a lot of FUD being touted by firewall vendors about the possibility of a home computer being hacked, then the attacker using that computer's VPN connection to the office to break into the company network.
I can see this as a possibility and realize that we could easily get into an extended discussion of the probability/impossibility/inevitability of it occurring. I personally want to avoid speculation.
Does anybody know of an actual incident where this attack was used, successfully or not?
Thanks, -Jim _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
