That's somewhat true, but depends on what SSH server program we're talking about. The likelihood of a working OpenSSH remote exploit is extremely low, though it has happened occasionally before. 

If you use a very strong password that isn't used elsewhere, or better yet a cert, then you're pretty safe. Even more so if you add MFA.

That said, my sshd port is not open to the world and even my BBS is only open to like seven countries.
