Lost forever is the trust internet users shared twenty years ago. We didn't worry about exploits and security updates because we didn't have to. Even if somebody cracked a server, it was to learn and for the lulz. Now that the global internet is overrun with cybercreeps we have to use TLS and release and deploy security patches regularly. If the early net protocols had been designed security-first, we wouldn't have this situation. But, if they had been designed security-first, the internet wouldn't have taken off. TCP/IP would still be competing with MAP/TOP and the whole x.whatever stack. I lament the loss of innocence.
