How lucky then that we all live in the cloud now and running code on other people's computers is the only place anybody runs code anymore.

In addition to that all sorts of vendors run their code on our systems to provide us with their features. And then there's the idea that some of these bugs have been demonstrated to be exploitable from within a JavaScript VM!

There's a lot more attention to this threat than there would be if the cloud wasn't ubiquitous. Could be a net positive.
