Depends how you use the information.  And to be honest considering the
reputation of some sources of traffic, such as Korea and South America,
which might be unlikely to have legitimate connections to your site, it
would be handy to block them all.

But you're a worldwide organisation, and I think there's much more that
you can do with this than just block.  For example, has anything figured
out a way to tie this into logging rules, it would great to see which
countries I'm being attacked from.
