Since SATLUG is a local lug.. If I were you I would block all Russian and 
Asian IP blocks... It saved XCSSA much heartache.  And it's not as many Class 
A's and B's as you would think either.  Check out the sites for RIPE and 
APNIC sites for the latest blocks.  For all of Asia, I only had to add 19 
class A blocks.  And Asia and Russia are where most of the modern hack scans 
come from.
