If the internet is to be 'free', then those who want to download, visit peculiar sites, buy dubious products are welcome to do so as long as the ones who don't want to, don't have to accept whatever. That's why blocklists and firewalls are the 'natural' way to regulate who gets what. Of course, if everyone has a firewall and blocks spam, then there isn't much profit to be had by sending unsolicited messages or downloads.
Having said that, I've never had to do any such thing - it stopped inside of 24 hours on the one occasion something similar happened to me though it was of concern at the time and I don't know enough about firewalls to be entirely confident I was secure.
But the cases of those coming to this topic are apparently a bit different, with greater volume sustained longer. Anyone badly affected would be well advised to take a more active part in getting it stopped IMO. And the spin-off might indirectly help others if the occasional "content provider" is encouraged to provide what is asked for only to those who ask for it.
I have looked at ways to report firewall logs and, from my cursory surf through them, one has to know a lot of things that only server admins would know to be an effective reporter. As long as the person inside does not open a window or door, it doesn't matter how many people come outside some of them like the meter reader, legitimate. If the constant alarm bothers the person, he turns it off. For a professional who can tell the difference between the meter reader and the thief, it pays to pay attention to the alarm log for the reasons you state.
I don't think they probably ever use alerts, just regularly review the logs. For the non-professional, the alerts are simply annoying and sometimes alarming. Almost immediately, my firewall announced an attempt from the 'Wicked Witch'.
Unlike spam, these attempts are completely blocked and don't have to be filtered to be used legitimately. Professionals may be interested in stopping hackers since like burglars they can find ways around the alarms and locks, but that's best left to the professionals.
Yes well that part's been done, hasn't it? If we are talking about this particular instance, yes. I think I went off on a little tangent about whether one should report firewall logs or not in general. Unless the repeated attempts are annoying, then unless they are malicious, they can be ignored.
If they are malicious, I don't think direct contact is a good idea. And, since I don't read server logs, I don't know whether they are annoying to server admins. And if an end user turns off the notificaiton and doesn't read their logs, then they aren't annoying. You can post now and register later.
