Is it worth the time and effort to email the Whois abuse contacts when an IP is probing a web server? I see a lot of probes from IPs assigned to US companies such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google. They fill up my access logs with noise that costs money to store and takes time to deal with.
Is it worth my time to email these abuse contacts and ask them to stop? Should I just ignore it? Should I block the IPs?
Thanks for any advice.
