I don’t know. I grew up in the earlier era of internet mischief as well, but things are very different today. Back then, if a school’s website went down (for whatever reason) it had basically zero impact on anything. Schools were offline-first and the website was basically a side project. Now, everything revolves around the internet and websites. A school’s website going down could be a big deal for a large number of people, including interfering with the education of 100s or 1000s of students, as well as disrupting the lives of all of the parents who have to work around the disruptions. A DDoS is never really okay or cool, but I’d say that the disruptions are much worse in 2022 than they were in the days when the internet was a novelty.
