    IP address blocked in routers event log


    I checked my routers event log this morning and found this:

    Unauthorized SSH access attempt from 42.112.16.118 - IP address blocked.

    SSH login failed from 42.112.16.118.

    Unauthorized SSH access attempt from 61.142.106.34 - IP address blocked.

    SSH login failed from 61.142.106.34.

    Unauthorized SSH access attempt from 162.209.124.204 - IP address blocked.

    SSH login failed from 162.209.124.204.
    I have a Motorola SBG6580 (modem/router), I have the firewall set to "high". First time I've seen something like this. Any thing I need to do on my end?

    Looks like the router's firewall is doing it's job. I get the same type of stuff in my event logs, nothing to worry about.

    That first IP is from Hanoi Viet Nam.

    These are just automated bots scanning the internet for weak / open SSH logins. I wouldn't worry about it.
