Would be interesting to know if there's any research on the number of site compromises vs desktop compromises.
There are still plenty of computers out there that are probably running vulnerable versions of Flash/Java etc. I imagine one of the biggest incentives to hack some random blog is to infest it with drive -by malware and compromise a bunch of machines if it has high traffic.
Also if you have a keylogger on a machine you can look for things that might be site admin passwords. So it wouldn't surprise me if there was a relatively symbiotic relationship.
