Oh, believe me, that wasn't the worst. The worst was an undergrad in a university computer lab who harnessed many dozens of workstations to DDoS us off the net when he got into an IRC argument with someone.

Haha, right, my nostalgia blocked off that part of it. That was definitely a thing. IRC BNC:s became mandatory to avoid the risk.

Remember when security was pretty much just scanning floppies for viruses before you ran the program?
