Indeed modern versions of Kubernetes are fairly good for network security against unauthenticated attackers.

That said it's not that long ago that a lot of distros were shipping unauthenticated kubelets, and I think that's where a lot of this will come from.

From cluster reviews I've done, problems like this tend to arise where people are using older versions (so early adopters) or have hand-rolled their clusters, not realising all the areas that require hardening.
