I keep asking for people to point me to the huge list of exploits that certainly must exist given all the horrors expressed about running as root. No one has ever been able to tell me where to find it.
This is because the problem with running as root isn't exploits, it's typos, and commands that have more scope when run as root. There's a well-known command that can delete your entire file system if and only if it's run as root. It's not that hard to type by mistake, or by fat fingering something else but unless you're root, it's not a disaster.
