Done.

The last observation was made Nov. 9 at 11:49 UTC, that is after it was
announced the attacker was shut down.

We no longer see the packets, but we continue to receive reports from
the same mentioned amateurs, the last one is dated 12 Nov 2024 07:57:06
+0800. All mentioned addresses are those of Tor relays, and the
destination port is still ssh.

Excerpt from the report:

  5  11-Nov-2024 12:32:52  DENIED              193.218.118.89   54796      TCP  
 202.91.160.87       22

This could be simple brute force attacks, but since the reporter blocks
the connections, that seems unlikely. Perhaps the attacker tuned the
attack to a list of networks that are known for triggering reports.

No misreading; the attack is benign anyway, the problem is really
with the fools that take these reports seriously.
