Since netsploitation is slang for anything that "exploits" the net, a netsploitation flick refers to a big-budget Hollywood film that depicts the internet as a big, scary place. These kinds of films "take advantage" by preying on people's fears of the net just to make money.
Historical perspective: For example, on July 28 1995, the movie "The Net" starring Sandra Bullock received mixed-to-negative reviews for its unrealistic portrayal of 1990s technology. Talk about BITD!
