You're absolutely correct, client side security is not addressed much. Another aspect of that is that when you join a public hotspot, you also open yourself up to active attacks on your local machine. It's good that software firewalls are almost ubiquitous - which comes back to why client side security is not frequently discussed. The circle of life continues..
