So shell I worry about it or do I need to do some countermeasures?

If someone can point me in the right direction what to do and what
certainly not to do I would be thankful.
It's good to have good password practices, as well as disable the root ssh
login. Users requiring root permissions and capabilities should login as
a regular user and su to root...
In terms of a "counter-measure" or some level of defense against the
attacks, I'm fond of denyHosts
http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/
Thanks,

Thanks to everyone who responded to my reply.
I closed ssh for root, checked pws and installed denyhosts running as a
cronjob regularly which is really enough for me.
Cheers,
