Saw one reply this morning about changing SSH to a different port. Not sure why people go changing their SSH port from 22 to something else, does not achieve anything, might just make you feel more secure. Go read about security through obscurity. If someone thinks you are hiding something you give them reason to go digging deeper looking for it.
The point of using a different port is not to protect against a targeted attack. The point is to minimize resources and log file size spent on these pretty annoying bots. In case you are wondering, it works great for that purpose.
