nah .. maybe ..
- you make too much assumptions
- how do you know its not a script kiddie on Mars (earth-nuetral country)
or an expert cracker from pluto that has complete control of that PC at
the high school or whomever currently has access to that ip#, possibly
from their home or office
- whois db is not 100% accurate or maybe even 5yrs obsolete
in some cases ( remember the *.com bust )

if you have a live connection wiht the "script kiddie"
- get the local pd at Hanguk Kwangsan involved and tell them
you want that PC confiscated for xxx reasons
- if yu worked at a bank,, and that pc is used to connect
to the not-so-bright-bank, than it becomes a federal case
and fbi will get involved, and possibly the bank has to
notify the consumers that their computers were connected to
a cracked box ... and possibly blah-blah might NOT have happened
- if you do NOT know how to kick off a cracker from a PC,
disconnecting or reinstalling will NOT help you from preventing
the next cracker from breaking in using the exact same steps
or slightly modified attack programs to get back in again
- they usually get in because of "user error", not the software
- if it was a hole in ssh, ALL and i mean ALL other Debianites and
possibly other Linuxites will be equally susceptable and some of
of them will have noticed that they too were successfully attacked

- it's a 2 second solution to stop somebody, anybody from
logging in remotely even if they have userID and passwd
and even if they have exploited a vulnerability to become
root esp if they got in the way you suspect ...
