You guy's might like to contact you local Infragard chapter. They might be able to help. On 10/20/09, Dan Baxter <danthemanbaxter at gmail.com> wrote:
I'll be interested to see your responses to this, as I've got a similar situation. I recently identified some IRC Botnet traffic leaving our corporate network. I'm blocking it with IPS, but it's all headed to a specific IP. I've traced this IP to a physical therapy facility. I've attempted to contact them twice. Once I was put through to the owner's voicemail. I briefly identified myself as an information security professional for a corporation and that I had information regarding a server of theirs that may be hosting malicious software. I didn't receive a response. So, a few days later, I called again. This time, someone took my contact information and said their "IT guy" would contact me. That was over a week ago and still nothing. I have a feeling this box is owned six ways to Sunday. The idea that it's potentially hosting medical records makes this even worse. How persistent should I be in attempting to contact them?
