If your web server is behind your firewall you could block access from those
ranges of IP addresses. I have done that in the past. I would do blocks on
the entire Class A Address range from those in the Pacific Range and Eastern
Europe. I figure they don't need to look at our web site.

Subject: [tech-geeks] Joomla Website Registration blocker?
I set up a registration process for our school's Joomla website so that
private school information is kept private, adding one minor level of
internet security.
But every day I get dozens of attempts to register from weird-sounding names
with address extensions from Russia and who knows where else.
Is there any way to block them? More of a nuisance, I think, than a serious
problem.
