I need more info about devs getting infected over ssh in less than an hour. Unless they had a comically weak root password or left VNC I don't believe it at all

Yes, <1h was a weak root password. All attacks I've seen directly were always user error. The point is effectively removing attack surfaces rather than enhancing security in needlessly exposed internet-facing protocols.
