The new thing is that most devices nowadays are connected using radio and 
not wired, the way they were before. Also, back on those days security 
typically wasn't high on the agenda. How many worried about MITM attacks 
on those protocols?

Also, they were typically used in managed environments. BYOD wasn't really 
a thing back then.
