I miss when viruses were fun instead of extortionate

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Back then there was eo much less to gain. The most important thing on the family computer was my Runescape account. I doubt whoever made the virus could even hack my runescape account because I lost access to it almost every week due to a very weak password and me telling all the kids at school my username and password.
