    The employee who got hacked was both using an insecure password (the exploit needs access to an admin account) and his Plex install was 2.5 years out of date.

      Sure was! You need to be on top of paid and free and open source software from a security stand point. There’s no shortcut no matter what you think you’re paying for. Your threat model might be better when the service automates a Web proxy for you, but that’s only one facet. You trade problems but should never feel like you can “set and forget”. Sometimes it’s better for you to do it yourself because there’s no lying about responsibilities that way.
