hack attempt - what to do

Fri Aug 6 04:09:48 UTC 2004

Today some punk tried to hack my system by trying to log in as root to
my ssh server. There was no problem and I mailed Abuse and Admin at his
ISP. This attempt was unusual due to the number of attempts. I notice a
couple of HTTP attacks every day. What do people do about this nonsense.
I am thinking of starting to aggressively mail ISPs as determined by
whois and demand that users be warned and/or censured. Any thoughts?
