Just check with your hosting provider, Whether they are providing you the Clean service or Used one? Just setup strong credentials, Setup up firewall security. you can even go with management service where management team will handle all these kind of issues.
I would recommend to install good firewall like CSF. Also install LFD to prevent brute force attack.

Well-protected VPS deals are available from hostsailor.com and hostingsource.com, their servers work with no glitches and prices are competitive. Servers are well-supported and support is online for 24 hours.
I vote CSF as well, Its amazing how many IP's try and brute force your servers. We must block around 30-40 a day.
