I agree that people will pick the marginal value of a tool over the security that comes from not using it. Security has always been something invisible to the public. But im reminded of things like several earlier Botnets which simply took advantage of the millions of routers or IoT devices that never configured their logins beyond the default admin credentials. The very same botnets have been used as the tools to enable many crimes across the globe. Having several agent based systems out there being operated by non-technical users can lead to an evolution of a "botnet" being far more capable than previous ones.

Ive not quite convinced myself this is where we are headed, but the signs that make me worried that systems such as Moltbot will further enable ascendency of global crime and corruption.
