Explain the following statement, “it is not advisable to use root as the default login.”..

Answer / Davinderpal Singh Gill

Using 'root' as the default login poses security risks because it grants full access to the system and its files, making it a prime target for hackers. It is recommended to create separate users with limited privileges for daily tasks, and reserve 'root' for administrative tasks that require elevated permissions.
