If I had PII in the systems they have access to I would be concerned. How long until someone gets spear phished or malware is installed on their presumably non-compliant systems? There's a reason why big corps spend significantly on security training for new grads.

I miss 1IM punting so much and being able to use Gothic Nightmares and FiReTooLz

Swatting is just something the morally impaired can relate to better.

And honestly I never even used my card stash anyway and I had thousands and thousands-- not because I'm a good person or whatever but because I was paranoid after that. The rush of building a duplicate of LOVE@AOL and then trawling my way through chatrooms and building my email list "Someone liked you, sign into your premium love@AOL account to see who" was too exhilirating to give up for 13-year-old me even if I was essentially tag-and-release phishing.

We used to phish OH accounts and <M>< master accounts to get free internet or scroll from the OH accounts.

AOL was so awesome and where I met friends I still keep in contact with today. Also taught me how to program.
