Large Number of Failed Login Attempts from IP
Hii,
I use a small VPS for my webhosting requirement and i got it activated today and have whm installed in it.. I noticed that my spam folder has several such emails which i have received after activating my VPS account..
Is there anything to be taken care of? or something which i have forgot to enable/disable?? Please suggest...

Hello :) There are bots that scan IP ranges for open services in order to utilize a brute-force attack to guess the correct password. This is a common practice. It's important to install a firewall management utility such as CSF and enable cPHulk brute force detection to help prevent these types of attacks. In addition, you may want to setup SSH to run on a different port, as often times only port 22 is checked for SSH. Thank you. 0
