What happened with the hacking scene from 90s and the early 00s?

what happened is the feds became a recruitment arm for the cyber state. "When one of my clients refused to cooperate with the FBI’s demand that he hack a foreign criminal organization at the risk of death for him and his family, the DOJ superseded his indictment, skyrocketing it from fifteen to 44 counts, increasing his potential sentence to over 400 years in prison." - https://www.wired.com/2014/10/us-government-vs-hackers/ if you were a hacker, you were coerced into serving gov interests, or you went to prison. it doesn't take many years of determined persecution to drain a group of cohesion and momentum. (what's worse is many hackers gladly jumped on uncle sam's dick, happy to snitch and crime for country...) go to europe or asia for authentic hacking cultures! best regards,
