My Server got Hacked? - sshd root access?

Dear all,
I am running out of ideas and need inspiration how to track down my current security issue.

Why I think that my server got hacked?

From time to time, when I execute this command

Code:sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep sshI get connection as user root to some ip in China/US/xxx,
and I know, that I am the only admin of that server.

Code:COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
sshd 15373 root 3u IPv4 3237744941 0t0 TCP xx.xxx.211.184:23->110.85.99.146:35587 (ESTABLISHED)The connection does not live for a long time and is reestablished once a minute or so.

What I already tried?

- Moving ssh to port 23
- ufw is up and running
- checked sshd_config which is

Quote:
Port 23
PermitRootLogin no
PasswordAuthentication no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
UsePAM no
PrintMotd no
Subsystem sftp/usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server
- checked the pid

4 S root 15786 15714 0 80 0 - 18076 - 5692 1 17:08 ? 00:00:00 sshd: [accepted]
- Checked its status via cat /proc/<pid>/status

What I could not check

Don't know if a docker container was hacked and this sshd is runnin in there

Thank you very much for your ideas!
