Everything you put on the Internet gets daily attempted attacks. The issue is... nobody should care about attempted attacks. Of course people will try to bruteforce your passwords. If you have any kind of software that warns you about these attacking attempts that's not helpful at all. What you want is to make these attacks do nothing. In case of bruteforce attempts it's clear how to do that: don't use insecure or reused passwords.
