How much of that transcript is doctored?

How much of that is real?

How much is the result of social engineering?

How much is the result of harvesting passwords?

I think someone compromised the machine through some other method like brute-forcing the password, and then doctored the transcript.

Nevertheless, I've played it safe and firewalled off SSH on all my Internet-facing machines except from friendly IPs. I guess we'll see in the next few days...
