SSH is very, very secure, much more secure than SS's rudimentary access
controls and IP blocking.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh

It's been around since 1995 so it's been field-tested and battered
every which way and aside from the security concerns outlined in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ssh#Security_cautions it's quite secure.

I believe that yes, your SSH is open to the world - but that's the
point.  Without your password, they can't get in.

Glad I could help!
