Anyone got that displaying in your console here lately. It made me laugh a good bit inside. First thought was @Francisco
Update/Note: This thread was more or less about SSH login attempts. Thus, i updated the title accordingly.

They're some French ISP I thought?
Francisco
online.net is poneytelecom
This has been in their rDNS since years, and look how nobody else is creating LET threads about that.
Unfortunately not a subsidiary of Frantech :-(
Seems like they are attempting to login to people servers. I've already witness 3 failed login attempts. China, Indonesia, France 'online SAS'. Who the hell did i pissed off. haha
Mate, you're not special.
This is very common .. I get thousands of attempts everyday. do not worry,use secure passwords everywhere.
Did i say i was. No. It was a joke, this whole Thread is a joke.
You're a joke.
LOL - i saw some idiot with the same notion posting about how he blocked all IPs with an RDNS of *.poneytelecom - gave me a good laugh that they had so little google fu or sense that they had NO notion they had blocked one of the worlds largest datacenters
Nice one
Thank you. Kind of you to say, old chap.
Passwords? .. I'd hate to be your customer.
Was about to say the same thing xD
They are defiantly not anywhere near one of the largest...
Another one on the blacklist, amirite?
ok
You want SSH keys?
Screw SSH keys, I require myself to VPN into my systems
Special needs.
Ouch.
Correct.
The name and ip showed up in my console on my VPS as a failed ssh login. Hence the reason i was asking if anyone else was getting hit by the same servers.
Try being part of a community and this is what i get.
Welcome to LET.
And everywhere else.
Please use Key based login and you will not get any attempt.
You guys are acting like I do not know or use key based ...
@hostdare
You're a VPS provider. At the very LEAST you should know how to use key authentication.
Also congratulations: I won't be picking up a Hostdare VPS any time soon. Maybe others, too.
oh god.. read properly .. I said people are acting like.. I know it and I am using key authentication in all of them. I am just saying for the op.
