Question How to report an intruder if I know his ip address? ... really urgent!
Hi everyone, it's been all day today the intrusion attacks to our group's chat room blocked by Norton ... but i get kicked out of the room - no access after that.

I get a message from Norton showing who is the intruder... I got the IP address down. How can I use it? Can I report this IP, and how??

Our chat room belongs to Parachat.com. Am I thinking wrong that if they have chat rooms on their server they should increase security??? It's THEIR server.

I'd greatly appreciate any help. It's really urgent.

Thanks a million in advance.
Laura

Google "ip to domain" and find that intruder's ISP. Report it to their administrator.
