Script kiddies have always been a problem you have to defend against. This is nothing new.

Yes and no. We used to have rampant script kiddies back in the '90s and early 2000s. After 2005-ish, well maybe 2010, most systems became adequate enough to not trust users' input, bug bounties, security as a separate role, etc, etc.

It would take at least some knowledge to hack, not just a random script from a forum.

Now, with LLMs, it's the '90s all over again.

Script kiddies will soon have capabilities that nation states once upon a time could only dream of.
