Re: Reporting hackers?

[Fred Edmister]

        What I usually do is trace the IP back as far as you can, and then do a whois on the domain owner, get the Admin phone number, and call them and report the incident.  I've had to do this a few times, and each time, I've had nothing but acceptance and thankfullness from the corresponding ISP.  (which I would do the same if someone called me)   Hope this helps you!

Is there a standard address that ISPs use to report hackers??
 
If for instance someone tried to break in to my machine and I can trace their IP back to a certain ISP/DSL/Cable provider, is there an address similar to 'abuse@blah' which they monitor??
 
Thanks,
Chris
