Blocking IP address at Firewall

[PaulBeau]

Does anyone block countries or A B blocks at there firewall/routers? We seem to get hit a lot hack attempts and so on from certain countries and I am considering blocking most if not all of the entire country at our firewall

Any inputs does anyone have a good list of bad countries or a good list of known IP's that would be a good idea to block?

If you're getting hack attempts, the most extreme thing you should do in my opinion is block the entire class C.

Blocking an entire country can't be a good thing to do. :D
