I reported a hacked server to the FBI once and seemed like they never did anything. Then one day, many months if not years later, the FBI contacted me wanting the hard drive for evidence. It turned out the person who did the hacking had been getting into many other servers and they finally caught the guy. I just assumed it was a person stateside but not like the FBI really gave me any details beyond a slip of paper when they picked up the drive and whenever they returned the drive.
So from my experience, I'd always report such things since never know if it might be information that at one point in time could be used against the hackers. Not like it takes any significant amount of time to report it.
