I used to remember when content creators and bloggers say use nodejs or Django or one of those framework/tool because php is not safe. Personally, I know two people that wrote very secure core php code and didn't rely on third party lib.
They preferred php over other tools until recently where the job dictates the tools.
This is what I can add..
On a server:
port 22 is default so you should change it
disable logging in. Use ssh private and public keys and use passphrases
allow modified port through ufw, if possible disable port 22
update and upgrade frequently or configure unattended upgrade
disable admin or root login and create a sudo user
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Awesome post
