What about this one?

I suppoee tons of updates didn't change SECRET_KEY.

If iI undesrstood right even with no secret key getting an hig level
access will require lot of time calculation and a stronge long
password eve if not salted is a good defense unless the attaccker is
really lucky.

The question is, secret key setting is a mandatory task? If yes would
be better WP check for it at first admin access and suggest user to
change it to avoid risks. Other solution?
