How often is your server being hacked into?

I have compiled this list in a few days it seems that once a day or so I'm getting so person trying to brute force their way in just curious how often this happens to others I'm using OSSEC and a notifcation tool

Over the last few years I've had 2-3 hacks, mainly from not keeping my OS up to date. The worst OS i've used for hacks is redhat, I've never had anyone hack into my debian boxes.

Most hacks these days are fairly harmless, and you'd be hard pushed to find out they've hacked your box, except your box is now connected to an IRC network (netstat helps for this) and are a member of a botnet.

I've had a few defacements as well, but it doesn't happen often.

I have had 2 defacements from content management vulnerabilities (maxwebportal on NT) and a sql injection on PHPNuke...running Debian on my sever so far so good I just get notification of people guessing what the logins are for ssh onto my box apparently they are not looking up the OS as they are trying for admin and administrator accounts....
