Ruffle is the closest we have to Flash these days and it's solely used to render it safely on the web (Mostly archived Flash at the moment).
A correct piece of actionscript could create a zombie hoard of remote computers to do anything without their owners' knowledge.
Flash cookies (Local Shared Objects) were the key. This seems to be what this Notepad.exe 'update' allowed for (But even better as it was signed and had keys to areas otherwise out of bounds).
Flash got shutdown for less.
Nonsense, I have ten GB of archived flash format porn that runs in Basilisk or an old standalone flash player.
Don't ask why I have it, I have a data hoarding problem.
Anyway, flash, like polka, will never die.
