Flash is only as poor as it is now (security wise) because it has been the default software for so long which makes it a massive target. Once HTML5 becomes the default then the money will be in attacking that instead and so they will. Much like many used to say that you didn't need anti-virus and internet protection for a Mac system... Well you do now even though they are not even close to the number of Windows systems.

It is a pity that most websites, not only for porn, are still sticking with flash.
Attention to all website: please just leave that stone-aged flash thingy and move to HTML5 ASAP!

Malvertising can happen on any webpage on which ads are hosted. And if you're not paying for the content of the sites you visit, you have to assume the site is making money off you somehow....

The best way to browse such sites it use sandbox feature thats available with some antivirus like Avast pro, Comodo etc so that you can enjoy the site 24/7 ;)

As much as I want sites to move to HTML5, Flash haters here need to chill. What SchizoFrog said is correct. And right now, HTML5 players are completely broken in my FF35. I had to revert YT to Flash, which doesn't have loading, buffering and freezing issues the HTML5 player does. Ain't that something?
