A quick check on shodan shows 86362 hits for "ssh raspbian". If only a small

But ssh is not enabled by default in Raspbian.

Good point (I was not sure - I always enable it, since my pis run headless).

However, I *do* remember news about lots of pis with default passwords being
exploited via ssh - but I can't find the sources for that.

Either way, making it difficult for the admin to mess things up is not a bad
idea.
