SSH break-in attempts from within Spotify Stockholm office network

SSH break-in attempts from within Spotify Stockholm office network

Being unaware of this forum, I first posted the following to Getsatisfaction:

I could not find any kind of proper contact on your website to take this matter to, so here goes my question, which really isn't related to the Spotify product: 

I have a Unix box facing the public internet with port 22 (SSH) open. Last night someone with IP address 194.236.60.83 (83.60.236.194.office.spotify.net – looks like this is your Stockholm office) tried to log in to said box's root account, until being automatically banned after too many attempts. Now, this sort of thing is normal in teh internets and if the perpetrator wasn't from your network I wouldn't really care. But as a paying customer I'm concerned that a) you have hired some very stupid people, or b) some machine inside your network is compromised. 

See for yourself:
