I would say if there is any possibility this might end in legal action against the suspect, you should get law enforcement involved right away. Unless you have a well documented and legal chain of evidence collected through accepted pratices you won't get anywhere in court. You may also find you have difficulty getting any of the records you need without the help of law enforcement. Kenton --- helen wilkinson-makey <helen () wilkinson-makey co uk> wrote:
My personal email provider records the IP address of every success and failed log in. An IP address tried to access my account on Thurs 27th April at 10.29am. A quick check on www.ripe.net aroused my suspicions immediately when I found out the ISP. Further checks on google revealed the IP address seems to belong to a large organisation that knows me. More extensive google searches revealed this IP address was regularly and consistently left on a forum where this person was talking about a major IT project that I am an extremely well known opponent too. This person also left another IP address on the forum which again is linked to another major organisation that knows me. Is there anyway I can track when this IP was doing on a given day ( web page visited etc) and preferably within a time scale??? I know I will need to get radius records but I want to investigate this as far as possible myself. From what I have uncovered so far this attempted log in is highly suspicious. I have discussed this in detail with my email provider they too are of the same opinion. I am based in the UK. Ellie
