I guess it's easier at the moment to just exploit bugs, e.g. MoBB
http://browserfun.blogspot.com/

Consider the alleged x million rooted Windows boxes serving up spam, as
well as the certainly-true y million cases of spyware-infested Windows

It must be reasonably easy for determined people to do these hacks, so I
guess they don't need to use ActiveX just yet.
