You could report to konradpl@zt.piotrkow.tpsa.pl or abuse@ that domain but I wouldn't expect much to happen.

you don't have enough information to consider taking action. And as ChrisB says its doubtfull much wil happen.

I wouldn't worry about it. To put it into perspective, I get upto 30 attacks per day sometimes many more. Norton is normally alerted by script kiddies scanning subnets looking for open trojan ports. If a true "hacker" wanted to get in (which they wouldn't) then norton is completly usless. It will provide no protection at all. Software firewalls only protect against average traffic and are easily bypassed by experienced security experts.

btw, the type of person we were refering to is a cracker. Hackers are very inteligent people and never go around breaking into things for malicious purposes.....the true meaning of te word hacker has been twisted by the media.
Just my 2pence worth

btw, if this still worries you and you want more on this, and other security related stuff come visit me at my site here. I'm not sure as to the extent the mods allow on this board.

Its a scooby board after all
