Possible Break-in?


Hello Everyone.

I was looking at my server's /var/log/auth.log file and noticed someone is trying to access to my server. I have opened ports 143,25,80 and 22 on this server.

What you recommend me to do in my situation to prevent a hack?

Code:
Oct 10 22:27:24 owsmail sshd[28664]: pam_unix(sshd:auth): check pass; user unknown
