    Lot of words to write about something that has been happening for literally decades. You'll learn to ignore it like everyone else and just move on. Or even better, set up fail2ban with the recidive jail to at least reduce the size of your daily server report email.

      I found it interesting. The part about the scripts trying "sheep" as the username was new to me. Not everybody knows everything, so it's nice to read a little article about new things

      Often enough to switch to a different port to drastically cut down the noise, most bots probe the defaults.
