Brute SSH attacks / Root Attacks

See http://www.linode.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6935#6935

im sorry, that post was about how to stop/block the attacks. I already have a setup inplace that does that.

Im interested in weather people report these attacks to the offenders isps and weather there are actually any positive results back from the isps or if they just ignore you.

The effort involved in reporting this stuff is not justified by the results. For every one good ISP who tracks down a script kiddie and stops him, there are hundreds of ISPs who do nothing because it costs them money for no real gain (from their beancounter-driven point of view), and tens or hundreds of thousands of compromised PCs that the ISPs don't want to disable (because they lose revenue) and which aren't going to get fixed anytime soon (the non-tech users can't - the ISPs won't, unless someone pays them).
