@techspence posted something on another platform that hit home: For every unimportant thing that is fixed or made a priority, something truly critical gets moved down the list. Sometimes people have asked me “what’s the harm when media frenzy, marketing buzz, or knee-jerk reactions cause a topic that is not really a thing to take center stage (think agent swarms in toasters). The harm is that all of those conversations, thoughts, and actions were about something unimportant, and were not about Winter2026! as a password, unmanaged devices, misconfigurations, users running as local admin, password stored in the clear, and so on… Every time we make something unimportant take center stage, what should be center stage does not, and the attacker gains an advantage. It is like skipping a turn in a card game. Make a habit of skipping turns, and you will lose. This has also been pointed out repeatedly by @ZackKorman, @UK_Daniel_Card, @Shammahwoods, @IceSolst, @christian_tail, and so many others here.
