Indeed.  I try to be reasonably quick about updates and the occasional 
short-notice ssh exploit is rather scary.

I've found that at least 75-80% of the time there is a compromise the
"hacker" doesn't have "local" access to the system, meaning a shell.
They simply upload a script to /tmp, run it, and that's their damage. If
they are getting in via SSH someone has a bad security policy.
