They do apparently attack. Here's a snippit about the legend of the Kraken...

"The legend may actually have originated from sightings of real giant squids that are estimated to grow to 13 metres (43 feet) in length, including the tentacles. These creatures live at great depths, but will surface to hunt prey and reportedly have attacked small ships."

Pretty creepy, but fascinating.
