[ILUG] reporting hacking

[Liam McDermott]

ya figured there wasn't much to do. 

its a static IP with uvtinternet, i think.
he is running a hardware firewall on a router and has added this guys
ip address to the blocked list. The main prob is that he is connecting
to the machine from a remote machine which doesn't have a fixed ip
(isdn).

He told me ha traced the ip to korea, i'll ask him for more details. 

What i really wanted to know, more out of curiosity than anything
else, is if the Gardai are the only people to cantact in relation to
computer crime. (ie if machine was sucessfully hacker, etc). or if
there was some special branch/department to deal with this kind of
thing.
