In my opinion nothing happened; It's from many years that security land scape doesn't change. Client side vulnerabilities are more often browser vulnerability because browser like FireFox and IE are the most used client. On the other hand Web Application are growing up and not every developer is careful on security issues, so it's reasonable that it's still in the first Server Side Vulnerabilities. But..., actually I don't agree with the position of H1 and H2. My personal experience focused on security says that Phishing it's one of most important security problem of the current era. Preventing phishing means prevent security technical aspects and Social Security aspects; for the first lots of groups are working on with great results but for Social Security aspects the evangelist community is back yet. For this reason Phishing is one of the most important and used attacks. H1, is 'f course a really important problem but more fought during past security history; I believe that bounds of steps have been already done on this particular way, and for this reason not comparable with more recent phishing.
