I just spotted a use of "interwebs" where I would not expect to see it: 
in a training that I have to do for work about data security.

"There are thousands of scams like this...and now they’ve set up shop on 
the interwebs."

(Data Security by GetInclusive)

The context suggests non-humorous use . . .
