Even though he works for me, I don't agree with him.

SSH inherently itself is quite secure, obviously. I use it daily and
encourage our staff to do the same.

The exploit (really, trojan horse) that Ryan describes is something you
can do on your own machine to capture other folks passwords.

This, however, is true in most cases.
