Actually not that high any more, if I remember the latest estimates correctly.
However, it is worth remembering that in this case the attackers were after
specific individuals, so they had to attack whatever software those individuals
were using. It is likely that, had the targets been using, say, Firefox, or
Chrome, the attackers would have been able to find a suitable vulnerability in
either of those browsers.
