Anyone else find it amusing HTML/Java/Javascript were the highest ones on the charts?

What is worthy of note is that for most websites, accessing their Flash content requires JavaScript be enabled in the browser. Which essentially means exposing the system to the full range of JS attacks, not just the much more limited range of Flash-oriented attacks. Just something to keep in mind when browsing Flash videos, especially if going in harm's way to do it and thinking it's safe because one's Flash is updated to the latest and greatest "safe" version...
