I think there's a lot of truth to that.  A few years back, JavaScript was still 
viewed with suspicion (justifiably), and as such it was a "live issue" and so, 
when it was involved in security problems, it got mentioned.  These days many 
people take it for granted, and are no more likely to think of it as 
"contributing to" an exploit where it is used than the surrounding HTML (if 
any) is.
