Very amusing topic indeed. A user gives full remote access to his/her machine to a stranger on the internet and then wonders that something nasty happened. It is about that smart to give the keys to your car to a stranger on the street to “keep them for me” and then wonder that the car magically disappeared later.
But one (the beginner/noob user) can still learn something from the whole story:
- SSH is disabled by default and for a good reason
- if one decides to enable it, one should understand it or at least read about it
- one should always use ssh with keys with strong encryption, and never ever ever allow root access from the internet, that is, disable it right after you set up the keys.
