1. I just assume that regardless of patching exploited vulnerabilities, breaches will occur again in the future.

2. The primary purpose of recent breaches seems to be for the purposes of data extraction and exposure, not direct destruction or manipulation of instances or the settings / database.

3. GIven the structure of the fediverse, even if an instance goes down, users can easily pop back up on other instances. Thus, attacking instances for anything other than data extraction and exposure is like swatting flies that you can't kill.

4. Therefore, be unassailable. It really defeats the entire purpose of the hacks. "Oh no, you got a DM of a stupid cat I sent to another user. BFD."

5. Nonethless, admins should of course secure their instances as best possible. I am not discounting that by stating 1 through 4.
