Up-Update: I contacted the Department of the Army, Defense Information Systems and spoke with a ranking officer. They are most interested in how and why a Hacker is routing through their system. So, All the data has been sent off to them, with the name and email address of etc. I'll keep you posted.
UPDATE: While I was posting this, 4 new hacking attempts came in again from the same source. AND ... get this ... this time it was routed through the Defense Information Systems, U.S. Department of the Army, Washington, D.C. ... So, it is time to make a phone call.
Today, about noon, I received 4 hacking attempts in a short period from the same Hacker. The source orginates from Cupertino, California, and either routes through Rustin, VA or more recently through Palmerton, PA. My system notified me that this particular Hacker makes the most frequent attempts to get into my system.
I am posting this for your information in case some of you have Tracer Programs and the source of your frequent attacks come from Cupertino, CA via Palmer, PA or other routing:
