- in one line: "if nothing else, patch your servers regularly"
and hope there is no bugg vs letting a cracker in which

of those 3 times .. did they actually get in ??
or just knocking to see if they can get in
"get in" as in they can easily do "rm -rf /" or send spam or
any other havoc they may wish to do to your server
- if they did NOT get in .. consider them having done a 1st pass
knock on your door and they may or may not have moved onto other
