Internet scale security: the impact of cheapness
Ten years ago or so, mass login and password guessing attacks wereessentially a non-issue; old news, an attack whose time had passed notonly because everyone knew how to counter them but because they had sucha low payoff that no one bothered doing the tedious work (and if someonedid, you pitied them).
