So, since I started really securing my sites... I don't know what to do with the data.
Evil doers (presumably) are getting locked out quite frequently. I get the data on where and who they are. But... what do I do with that data? And is it even worth it? I've been hacked once, on one domain. And yes, it was annoying. But a quick restore, and I was back up and running.
Reporting all of these idiots seems like more trouble than that.
One example... and I'm not redacting anything, because I'm just pissed like that...

... but both of you are concentrating on the throwaway comment rather than the question?
