We should also recommend to recreate SSH keys after they have been initially created by a system itself. Especially if that system ist a cloned VM or an embedded system with (severe) lack of entropy.

This of course brings up the question on how to do this in a really secure manner other than being directly connected to the device where it can't be MITMed easily.

Would be interesting to have a list of the most used fingerprints encountered in the wild so one can easily check one's system against them. (Especially embedded systems like Busybox based devices and SBCs.)
