Re: National Infrastructure Protection Center

We've just gotten refered to the local FBI office when we had
a problem. (Which of course doesn't have any computer people at
it.) When the problem was traced in another provider in State
it got dumped to the local policy computer crimes unit,
however the "unit" was on vacation that week.
(Packets went through MAE-West, but I guess that doesn't count.)

Despite the fact that we've assisted the local office on a number
of occasions (tracing forged email, etc.), there isn't any real
interested unless you have large amounts of damage, i.e. $100,000+.
