Default Any suggestions?

I am getting very frustrated right now.
I uploaded that .htaccess file and was hoping that would take care of much of the unwanted traffic.
This morning upon checking the stats though... I have discovered that I havent had any traffic from Africa... although I am still getting the hackers visiting from Amsterdam and Asia and they are chewing up a ton of bandwidth. Amsterdam chewed up 10MB just this morning. I have been blocking individual IPs but they just seem to come back on a new one.
I dont get if they are just stupid or what.... but they are still trying to take the site down through that exploit that was in 5.1....... but it should be obvious to them now... that I am running 5.2 and its just not going to work.

Is this something that I just need to ignore and accept the chewed bandwidth and the hack attempts? Part of the business so to speak?

Thanks,
Ann
