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
