    Doing nefarious things on the Internet is probably not much older than the Internet. That take sounds like something someone who wasn’t around in the 90s would say. I still remember the Ping of Death, people abusing netsplits on IRC, scams, identity theft, fraud, etc. - this is not exactly a new thing and even predates the web.
