Adobe Flash zero-day exploit... leveraging ActiveX… embedded in Office Doc... BINGO!

Another security fail from MS and Adobe. Why is Active-X even switched on by default since it pretty much died when IE? The 1% of people that actually need Active-X on should have to enable it rather than it be a gaping hole ready to be exploited by any bad actors.

As for Flash, DIE, DIE, DIE! I wish Google would remove Flash support from Chrome, as this would force those developers who are hanging on to it to finally do something about moving to HTML5. Or risk the majority of users not being able to access their websites.
