This story reeks of FUD.
Because a "common misconfiguration" will absolutely make your system vulnerable!?!
OK show just ONE!
This is FUD to either prevent people from using Linux, or simply a hoax to get attention, or maybe to make you think you need additional security software.
what does FUD stand for?
Fear, uncertainty and doubt
ssh with an easy to guess root password?
Wouldn't that simply be a user mistake?
It's kind of like saying if you remove the password completely, it's vulnerable.
