Blocking hack attempts from foreign countries...

Good morning list,

I'm curious to know what the list's opinion is on notifying ISP's/Companies
in foreign countries that a hack attempt was made from their network.

We've received and blocked more than a few attacks recently and I'm
wondering whether anyone worries about retaliatory attacks if the entity is
state/government owned, or if the company is complicit in the attack. At
this point, I think it's worth it just to block offending IP's, but have
always wondered about this. 

Thanks in advance...

Dan
