You could try securing your account with something stronger than a rubber padlock. Because every single time I have seen someone get hijacked, they either had a shit password or they entered their login info on a phishing site.

People can brute force it if you have valuables. It only takes about 5 hours with a gen2 i7 to force a 12 character password, assuming it has numbers and capitol letters.

There is no auto lock of ips after a few bad attempts? At least it's the norm with SSH
