By now you've probably heard that Vice President Mike Pence's personal email account was hacked, revealing he's chatted about sensitive political matters and homeland security issues while serving as governor of Indiana.

That's scandalous and all -- especially considering the backlash Hillary Clinton received during the presidential campaign for her use of a private email server while Secretary of State -- but according to internet users, the real crime here is the fact that Pence still uses an AOL account.

Really though. Joe Biden was so cool he wore aviators every chance he got and now we have a Vice President who still uses AOL?

Does Pence still use dial-up? Does he rub two sticks together to make a fire? I mean, where does it end?

Get with the times, dude.

Hip Twitter users were personally offended after learning of the VP's uncool life choice and felt the dire need to troll him accordingly.

Shake off the haters, Pence. But also, please update your email account.
