More to the point, they are OOB (out of the box) boxes. They
are simply installed. No weakening, no hardening. Just a straight
install. They also take no effort to advertise the systems or otherwise
lure anyone to the systems. They are doing nothing to entice anyone,
they are standing out there just like anyone else would who had done
a simple install and taken no other efforts.
