Check out https://dshield.org/howto.html for a central place to submit attempts...

Some useful pages:
https://dshield.org/reports.html
https://dshield.org/sources.html

As many sources can be anonymous, it's easy for hosts to be on someones lists from either spoofed or replies to spoofed ips, etc...  and so shouldn't be used as a blacklist, at least not exclusively.  (ie: wouldn't want to block port 80 based on this for a public web server)
