These types of ssh brute force attacks have been occurring for at least
a year, I think.  If your system is exposed to the net for any
reasonable period of time and runs ssh, it should have been subjected to
them.

Always good to keep up to date, turn off (and remove) unneeded services,
and read and apply the handy tips in Bob's book!
