Getting Brute Force Attacks on MS SQL Server, Urgent Help Needed

Hi,

We have a Dedicated Godaddy Server running Windows Server 2012 accessible through remote desktop. We are getting a lot of IP brute force attacks on the server with these error codes:

Event ID: 4625, Audit Failure

Event ID: 10016,_DISTRIBUTEDCOM

These errors are getting repeated almost every second. The MS SQL is now using over 50% in CPU and RAM and the server is responding very slow.

How do I resolve this.

Please help.
