Yikes. Just checked the firewall logs on the new web server for the first time. It’s incredible how many ssh login attempts are going on constantly, every minute of every hour. I can’t believe how many brute force attacks have been shut down in just a few weeks.

A vast unseen army of malicious bots is constantly testing and probing the defenses of every server on the web.

Good reason not to have a ‘root’ account.
