While it's true that a hacking attempt directed at one's Mac is
amusing, look at the bigger picture. What's not amusing is that the
same imbecile trying to hack you Mac is trying--and succeeding, in a
few cases--to hack everyone else in the surrounding address space.
This is where altrusism comes in: as a good netizen, I believe it's
incumbent upon one to report as many attacks one witnesses as is
feasible. It may be a "silly kid", it may be a professional spammer
looking for a hole, or who knows? Get 'em LARTed early and often, I
say.
