Looks like i was quite lucky. At the moment, i was looking at the server notifications and fail2ban started screaming.

Almost 30 different IP addresses were blocked for ssh attack. And the locations are all around the world.

It was a server exposed online via some subdomain. Some ports were open, including 22. Is this something to be expected always?

What do the guy expect?

Does it make sense to report this to DigitalOcean as several of those IPs belong to DO?

This happens literally all the time for me both personally and professionally. I see mostly low effort attempts across various ports or things like sweeps of common username/password attempts on ssh or common management endpoints on http.

This is why it's important to keep all publicly accessible servers and services updated and follow standard security guidelines. Things like only using public key auth for ssh for instance.

At work we get hit occasionally in large bursts and have to ban ips for a bit to get them to go away.
