Fail2ban ssh root stats

My home server has been using fail2ban with the SSH root logging blocker. Being curious, I decide to extract some statistics to find out which country the logging attempts came from. I set up fail2ban to also send emails of blacklisting events. Using the following bash command:

# grep 'SSH: banned' /var/spool/mail/root | cut -d' ' -f5 | xargs --replace=xxx geoiplookup xxx | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

and here is the result:

It's no surprise who does the most break-in attempts. For me, the second one in the list is a bit surpising. Peru is either a haven for hackers or it has a lot of insecure computers that are the jumping points for other hackers in other countries. I don't know much about Peru.
