That tells us how the exploit works, now why this person thinks it's the biggest attack vector.

Most internet users are very stupid when it comes to tech.

I know, but I'd like to see the numbers. Do people in 2016 have the same email habits as in 1996? I don't know, but everywhere I look, people are running safer email clients, usually in the form of well-sandboxed applications that hide most of the sharp edges from the users. I'm willing to bet email is a smaller vector today than 20 years ago.

I would be willing to bet that the difference in numbers between people using email and people running JS is enormous.
