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.
Crowd strike looking for a new market?

Wouldn't that simply be a user mistake?
It's kind of like saying if you remove the password completely, it's vulnerable.
