The trolls aren't even trying anymore

I was playing GTA Online last evening (a haven for trolls and griefers, if there ever was one) when a kid claimed in the chat window (visible to all players in the current session) that he had my IP...and had determined I'm running Windows 10 Pro on a machine with 16GB of RAM. Which was partially wrong, as the machine has 32. Then he claimed to have logged into my Instagram account and was about to delete all my photos. Problem is, I don't do social media, let alone Instagram. I made him aware of this, and told him to go ahead and do his worse. He must've been disappointed, 'cuz he then moved on to someone else in the session, and started the same thing all over again. For all I know I could've been talking to a (poorly scripted) bot. Whatever happened to the *good* trolls?

Judging by Q&A, it is my suspicion that this is the best you can expect, for now, and it's likely to get worse before it gets better.

I was kinda expecting that old story with the password of "hunter" (or was it "hunter2"...Google isn't helping right now...) [Edit] [Here](http://bash.org/?244321) it is...classic.
