I have noticed numerous and ongoing attempts by overseas ip addresses to login to my NAS. 
They fail and are blocked after two repeated attempts, but wonder if this is me specific or do others notice this activitiy?

It's expected that every machine on the internet will be probed or attacked more or less constantly. Your options are:
 - Make sure to keep it up to date with the latest software, and use a strong username and password. I would be surprised if there were no vulnerabilities in the software though.
 - Disable remote access.
