Pretty much. Security wasn't really seen as something developers worried about back then. Maybe it was because there were less bad actors due to it being much harder to make a buck through hacking. I remember setting up a server with an extremely weak SSH password around 2003 and it went for months without receiving any sort of traffic at all, much less login attempts. Nowadays if you set up a server with port 22 open you'll get dozens of hits per day from various bots scanning the entire IPV4 range and trying dictionary attacks to get in. Going through Fail2ban logs can be pretty entertaining.
