Be aware to change the "default is your fault" password for user Pi
immediately before connecting your Pi's to InterNet !
Because default SSH is set ON and anybody can login with the default password
witch has ROOT capabilities!
Change it to something cryptic,
with at least one capital and one number and/or special character in it.
Good luck with it.
Greetings from Henri, a Raspbian Linux and RISC OS Pi 3B user.
