If you have a public IPv4 address and use port 22, you'll see lots of login attempts. I wouldn't worry about it, given that you've disabled password login. The only thing I would advise is to disable root login as well (if not done already). Edit: Just saw you've already disabled root login.

If you'd like to reduce the noise somewhat, consider changing to a randomly chosen high port. I've done this with my VPS and hardly get any login attempts.

    While I agree with your sentiment, no interoperability obviously hasn't made people switch to better platforms either. The only difference is that without interoperability, I'm forced to still use WhatsApp to communicate with those unwilling / unable to switch.
