Every Default Is a Decision

Nobody chose to leave the port open.
That's the point.

Most breaches aren't clever.
They're a default nobody changed.

The public bucket.
The sample password still in place.
The permission set to "allow" because it was easier.

A default is a decision
someone else made for you,
optimized for their demo, not your safety.

Read them. All of them.
The boring config lines
are where the real security lives.

Convenience is the attacker's favorite feature.
