Afternoon All,

I did get a reply back from Comcast. Their abuse address is
abuse@comcastpc.com

It took me some time to get a hold of anyone that knew what I was talking
about. They are still in the mist of the migration from Excite@Home to their
own system. As a result they are still putting things together as far as
investigation work is concerned. The individual I spoke to was very
cooperative and interested in how we handle things here. It may take them a
while to get going but I think in the long run you will find them to be
responsive.

Have a great day,

Subject: Comcast.net abuse contact?

Hello,

Does anyone out there have a valid abuse reporting contact for the
comcast.net domain? Comcast is a cable internet provider who owns both the
comcast.com and comcast.net domains. Their customers often appear in my
firewall logs attempting massive port scans, probes for trojans... your
usual "script kiddie on a broadband connection" type of stuff.

Their Web sites feature mostly inane drivel and marketing promotions,
providing nothing useful in the way of company contact details. I sent
reports of their users abusing my firewall only to have emails to
abuse@comcast.net and abuse@comcast.com bounce back to me.

Anyone have the valid abuse email? Perhaps a phone number?

(Am i alone in wishing that there could be SEVERE legal - or preferably
physical - penalties for anyone found operating a domain WITHOUT valid
postmaster and abuse email boxes? I'd personally volunteer to my resources
to dispatch test emails to domains at random for those two addresses,
demanding a response. If one didn't arrive in a certain amount of time,
then oversight bodies would be called in to levy fines, public floggings,
etc. ah well, a man can dream.)
