Doom is playable on PDFs (at least in Chromium-based browsers)

I can see it now: "New worm infects PDFs, causes users viewing them to mine Bitcoin."
- PDFs have been an attack vector for a while actually.
  
  One more reason never to use the official adobe software. SumatraPDF is awesome. Barebones and blazing fast.
  
  If you view it on your system it's a vector. Large / complex documents which may parse things with different libraries just happen to have a larger attack surface.
- Pretty sure that was already a thing years ago.
- This was the thought that entered my head. Kids these days didn't live through rampant vbscripts running off the onLoad event.
Just wait till they find the flight sim in excel...
