What you should do depends on either your company policy / practice or your
own personal preferences. 
The place to go (should you decide to so) is the FBI.  Although, I suspect
you may find this a mildly traumatic experience.

                Subject:        Hackers left open door to my server..

                Someone tried to get into one of our boxes here and left a
door (rcp) to one
                of their hacked servers.  They also left quite a few files
on the server,
                large list of servers, IP addresses, usernames and root
passwords + their
                toolbox of toy scripts. Our system did not let them delete
these files, but
                they thought they had.  I also have the console log with
them chatting to
                each other & the commands they issued.

                Is there any one place to report this type of violation or
should I just
                clam up and clean up the box?  The connection (rcp) is still
up (not for
                long I suspect tho), I would like to catch these
buggers.....

                Thanks
