One of my first experiences of online trolling was joining some goons in an online mmp browser based game, some light rpg thing.

In the game was a public chat bar and the learned goon I was playing with typed six asterisks into the chat then added “oh cool it hides your password when you type it into chat”
Cue several usernames and passwords appearing in chat suddenly as people tried the trick.

I’m sure that sorta thing is old hat these days but this was 20 years ago so I’m not sure much has actually changed. My eyes were opened that day. To a new way to loot.
