I prefer to use something like denyhosts to simply block the offending ip's
as moving the port seems somewhat to be security through obscurity.
But this kind of activity isn't new, by any means. a few months ago when I
setup a SSH server open to the world and watched the logs I had a rush of
them get blocked in the first few days, then it quietened down. All of them
where other compromised windows/linux boxes.
