Are your root passwords strong?
I've always wondered why something as complex as sshd doesn't do anything to protect you from the simplest form of attack - like rate-limiting failed attempts.
Passwords?? Why? Remote root login via ssh?? Why? This is why they invented cyphers and rsa and 3des etc - use these and it makes it MUCH harder for the black hackers.
