I would take steps to secure your own boxes. To protect against brute force on a server level, if you're running *nix... I recommend R-fx Network's free:

APF (Advanced Policy Firewall)
BFD (Brute Force Detection)

Installs in minutes with good install files to help you get it done Anyone with basic *nix skills can do this in a matter of minutes.
I actually use CSF/LDF combo which also prevent scanning and hacker attempts plus stop bots and ddoss attacks,but csf sometime goes wild and can either block your own ip from accessing or even total server traffic.
