Problem is you are usually dealing with international jurisdictions
and
haven't a hope in hell of getting anyone bothered to do anything
about it.
You could complain to upstream IP providers to get them to block the
offending IPs and/or take action against their interconnect peers, but
it's unlikely they'll do anything either.
As someone said the other day, it's basically every computer for
itself
on the internet, which has pros and cons, the point he was making
was to
put your systems in order as much as possible to not be exploitable.
My posts earlier were just trying to point out that blacklists and
even
white lists are a cat and mouse game due to the sheer number of IPs
the
bad guys control through bot nets etc.
