Pretty sure 99% of them are script kiddies, random scanners and other totally boring shit, define "attacked"
I ran port 22 a while and if you watch the logs youll see a lot of strange stuff coming by.

Realize that in reality most jobs in IT are not as romantic as the hollywood movies suggest.
There are a lot of boring random tasks.
Nevertheless if where talking about high sec indeed; banks,large websites, controversial website(wikileaks etc), governments, electricity companies, transportation etc.
Anything vital that is.
Pretty sure they get attacked "often".

The company I am working with is not very important and whenever I open the realtime log of one of our perimeter firewalls there are thousand of requests per minute on the whole address-range we own. The thread detection logs are full as well. As stated before these are mainly scans and stuff. DMZ Servers get scaned permanentaly from the outside. I would say every device with direct connection to the internet (with a public IP) gets at least scaned daily.. its hard to tell how many actual attacks are happening. Can't spend the whole day to analyze firewall logs. If something really passes the perimeter defence systems we need to hope that our internal defence systems take care of it Yeah.. the internet is a dangerous place

And to add a little to that.

Its not only the random scanners or "evil hackers" etc.
For example the "is it online" websites pump out massive scans around the clock.
Google bot and others do basically the same.
Somehow thats considered legal... confused.
