It would seem that lately with the relative lack of system exploits for Microsoft Windows that the Redmond giant has finally gotten most of the buggy code stamped out. This though has left the exploit development community with a choice. Just what do they go after next, what technology, or platform affords them a decent attack surface. Well for a while it was the anti-virus products, and then the Microsoft Office suite. After that though it seemed that the end user became the target of choice. The attack surface there was the ubiquitous web browser. This threat vector has provided no end of exploits. Makes me wonder though, what will be the next attack surface?
