Hello i have a fresh Host Edition Installation and it was runing for about a week.
This is my second time i logged in to my server using SSH this week, and i noticed alarming message.
"Last failed login: Sun Jan 31 22:32:35 EST 2016 from xxx.xxx.142.71 on ssh:notty
There were 42278 failed login attempts since the last successful login."
Looks like there are a lot of hits on my server SSH port.
How can i increase the security to prevent hacking or someone trying to abuse my ssh connection?
Any advise?
I am newbie.
Thanks
