One time, I didn’t realize I had allowed all users to log in via ssh, and I had a user “steam” whose password was just “steam”.
“Hey, why is this Valheim server running like shit?”
“Wtf is
xrx
?”“Oh, it looks like it’s mining crypto. Cool. Welp, gotta nuke this whole box now.”
So anyway, now I use NixOS.
Good point about a default deny approach to users and ssh, so random services don't add insecure logins.
