We were getting hammered with same. Once we reconfiged openssh
to use a different (non standard) port instead of 22, all
activity ceased.
You can make the change transparently by including the
following in your ~/.ssh/config file:
Host whatever.com.au
Port 12345
Host *
Port 22
Then both ssh and scp will pick up the different port for
whatever.com.au.
