It's always educative to have a look at one's #fail2ban logs.
All of these are attacker IP addresses (or hosts infected with malware such as #Mirai or #gafgyt etc) trying to get into the #SSH of my poor #RPi;

I had the same issue. Changing the ssh port worked for me. The attacks stopped immediately.

(Yes, I know, security by obscurity but it does work)

@13reak actually, it's a good idea, because port 22 is hard coded in most malware instances, not other ports, so I'm pretty sure you're solution is actually a good one.
