Okay, here's the issue: There are many advisories and announcements have been made about the potential abuse of java, java-script, active-x, vb-scripts, and well, pretty much any active content in the major web browsers and across the HTML protocol. Never minding the minimal active exploitation actually being observed; While we know that most experts and consultants in the field will advise that active content be either blocked at the border, and/or turned off in the browser<s>, how many corporate gateway admins are actually blocking this as many advise? How are corporations dealing with this e-commerce wise, and/or as regards business partners?
