    They probably can not. Unless you’ve setup your router such that anyone can connect to an ssh instance running on your PC, and then also use a bad password. Public wifi + having something like ssh running + having a bad password.

    Your PC probably doesn’t satisfy these requirements (yay!), but some servers might.

        You probably already do, but if you need SSH, use crowdsec, SSHGuard or fail2ban to help filter bot nets.

        I have IPs hitting from all over the world, trying logins all the time. Like several per minute, I can only imagine what it would be like if I wasn’t blocking IPs with multiple failed login attempts.
