Good morninig everyone, Does anyone have an operations contact at Flash Net? Around 4:30am CST Sunday morning I was in the office due to a fiber cut and got on IRC to talk to some of our tech support staff to give them a heads up on the situation. I ended up running into someone who started using all his k-r4d skr1ptz and decided to start smurfing, port scanning and trying some remote expoits. I captured everything and tried to notify flash.net's NOC, but haven't gotten a response yet. Anyone ever dealt with any sort of operational issue with this bunch or am I going to have to start talking to the Feds first? He only did it for a short time, but long enough that if Flash Net had someone on duty and their contact numbers in whois were to their NOC instead of their sales office I would have been able to track this kid down.

Any help is appreciated.
