Attempt to hack server ?

Hello

I installed Brute Force Warning/Protection on my server 2 days ago and every day it seems I receive one of these emails as a warning:


The remote system 210.0.204.2 was found to have exceeded acceptable login failures on replacedtostopspam.webdirecthosting.co.uk. As such the attacking host has been banned from further accessing this system; for the integrity of your host you should investigate this event as soon as possible.

The following are event logs for 185 login failures from 210.0.204.2 on service sshd (all time stamps are GMT +0100):
