According to the PortSentry logs for my server, I have received thousands of connection attempts via SSH port 22. Of course, that is not the port the real SSH service is listening on. Logins were also disabled for root.<div>
<br></div><div>What's interesting is the IP addresses all belong to Serverloft (<a href="http://www.serverloft.eu">www.serverloft.eu</a>); most attempts came from 188.138.32.16 (<a href="http://loft4385.serverloft.eu">loft4385.serverloft.eu</a>). I am guessing someone with a few VPS boxes has nothing better to do than use up network bandwidth to terrorize the rest of us. Or, maybe those boxes have been compromised.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have e-mailed the folks over over at Serverloft, but I don't expect anything of it. Is there anything else I can do?</div>
