| Somebody today sent me an obvious virus attachment. The e-mail address is a fake one made by the virus. If I have the IP address it came from (using the headers), how can I get in touch with the user or the owner of the IP? |
| the OWNER of the ip will be their service provider, in that case goto www.all-nettools.com goto network tools and type in the ip in "smart whois" then write email to [email protected] ISPs almost always have a mailbox called abuse. It wont get anywhere though, IPs in x-headers are easy to spoof and it was probably sent to you automatically by someone else's machine who got "got" also. |
