I know that much of the world doesn't care but many of these attacks come from compromised servers. I scripted to automatically do a whois on the ip and construct an email to the abuse address with all pertinent log info included. this gets saved to a file and a report generated. I check the report once a month and run another script which sends the emails. I regularly get responses from companies like Amazon letting me know they are tracking them. usually it is a hosting service server and te client didn't lock down the machine, but i have had a few unnamed companies discover their own servers were compromised. you have to fight back people.
