Possible break-in attempt?

Sometimes I am receiving messages like this from my server:

nas.myserver.mydomain.com login failures:
Jul 17 08:35:02 nas sshd[5994]: reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for 
162.132-254-62.static.virginmediabusiness.co.uk [62.254.132.162] failed 
- POSSIBLE BREAK-IN ATTEMPT!

On different days they are from different IPs and they would-be mapped 
to different reverse dns names. How to deal with those messages/attempts?
