It wasn't misplaced...There were some horrific pieces of "hacker" software that were floating around in 05. Wasn't uncommon for a disgruntled employee to load malware onto a company's network and bring down operations for weeks. Case in point, douchebag loaded a maleware into this small financial company's network that I wound up working for. The virus infected the boot sector and forced the company to do low level formats on all of the company's hard drives. They lost immense amounts of money and respect in their industry and barely recovered. That virus was developed by some garbage hacker boy for laughs.

In fairness, there aren't a whole lot of ways left to run around corrupting the boot sectors on an entire network. Given current politics I'd rather have everyone learn how to enforce user access control in '05 rather than in '23.
