Background: 15 years of experience in software and apparently spoiled because it was already set up correctly.

Been practicing doing my own servers, published a test site and 24 hours later, root was compromised.

Rolled back to the backup before I made it public and now I have a security checklist.

        Yeah I was confused about the comment chain. I was thinking terminal login vs ssh. You’re right in my experience…root ssh requires user intervention for RHEL and friends and arch and debian.

        Side note: did you mean to say “shot themselves in the root”? I love it either way.
