    Hey, is it not just a simple honeypot reverse hack ssh server?

    People understand that reverse hacking can happen when connecting to random ssh server, right?

      Is that more likely than getting hacked when visiting a website?

        Visiting a random website is the normal use of HTTP. With SSH, there might be assumptions of connecting to a trusted server you have an account with and likely own. It's not very normal to ssh to a random server.

          I don't know how you are using ssh, but most ssh servers that I have connected to in my life, and still do, I don't own. Some of them I barely trust.

            The ones I connect to the most often from my personal laptop I don’t physically own but I do pay to rent them and I installed the OS on them myself.
