sbs hacking attempt.

Lately I get these quite a lot.
I suspect someone is trying to get in with remote desktop.
is that right?
I have changed the admin password, and we are behind a hardware firewall.
I did ip traces, and they always come from the UK and the USA.
should I report these? How can I do this?

I called my local police here and they say they cannot do anything if it does not originate from within my country (Belgium)

Any advise?

You can't really report these.... Best defense would be to get a VPN which you have to connect to before RDP-ing to the server...  you can set this up on your server with the Microsoft tools..

If you don't want to do that I would make sure you have strong password on everything, you can also look at blocking the IP's at your firewall

follow up comment:
Every day I start by going through all the attempts.
the situation has improved since I implemented a strong lockout policy.
Next week I will also change the administrator name. I have to check the consequenses for the existing situation first.
And every morning I send out abuse reports to the service providers, or whoever I find as a responsible by doing a whois. for IP's in the UK and US I usually get a reply that they will take some action. For China (most attempts) I usually get no reply.
Thanks all for the advise.
