When was that?

It was getting huge in the late 90s and we all know now it was indeed the future.

But it still took a huge dot.com crash because the valuations got ahead of the curve.

In the late 90s. Remember that the first PCI standard wasn't published until 2004; people were largely right to intuit that hackers stealing credit cards was a big problem that wasn't being adequately addressed.
