3000 is no longer that large, maybe a brigade but not an "army"...

Appropriate people already saw the list and will take care. There are also
special tools available that will take list of ip addresses and notify

(epsecially nanog which has not only whitehats but number of blackhats)
is in itself a security issue as has already been pointed out.
