Re: constant attacks - whom to contact?

Hi,

For nearly two months now I see constant attacks by a
certain host in the US. Sending mail to the responsible
persons and providers abuse address didn't change a things. The attacks continue. The next hop upwards
leads over the ocean to Europe, so it is not likely
that anything is going to happen here. Is there any official address where people can turn
to, when a provider doesn't react? After all there is
a good chance that the host in question is compromised.

Sure, I can set a filter on my side to block the traffic
but that does not solve the initial problem.

Cheers,

Chris.

Could you post logs or a data capture of the attack?
Bear in mind if you are sending PFW logs or router logs to someone as a complaint they will just laugh and hit delete.

If it is a compromised host sending out the scans try and put them on a compromised host blacklist. That *may* get their attention.
