In general yes. But I thought here we were discussing the concrete attack to get a backdoor into sshd.

I don't think a lot of those systems listen to the internet using sshd.

Of course with the hundreds of commits by the maintainer account in question it's not impossible that sshd is only the first attack vector found and there are also others.
