It's still popular, perhaps more ongoing than ever, but there are two things for the lessen public impact:

1) Security at a base level is much better than it was in the 2000s, and so it becomes more technically impressive to outline your exploits to your own personal CV. A "LOIC" DDoS attack, or a SQL injection are basic stuff now.

2) The media does not report on it, just as the times have changed in that they don't report on manifestos by publishing the text, or even mention that they exist except in extreme passing as a method to lessen people having access or knowledge of them to become "inspired", they don't report on them.

3) Corporations cover up any breaks in their security as soon as possible, a lot of corporations are built on security and they do everything they can to hide any attempts of security lapses.
