[epub] Re: Reporting Thieves

["Reagan D. Lynch" <rdlynch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

You can report this kind of stuff to the FBI using
http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp

They will need header information from one of the spam messages.

Also, I would write up a disclaimer and post it prominently on
your home page and linked from other pages as well.

Also contact your web host by phone and brief them on the
situation.  Ask them to pass along the information to their ISP,
if necessary.

For example, if this was me I would have to tell
http://www.ccfhosting.com/ and then make sure the word also got
to http://www.pwebtech.net/.

On Friday, July 25, I found out that someone apparently used my
domain name
as a "return address" for a terrible spam that went out to
I-don't-know-how-many people around the world confirming an order
for
advertising materials. Attached was a computer virus/worm. The
return
address was sales@ my domain name, an address I have never used
(although I
do have a catchall email system, so some were returned to me
before I had
my webmaster "turn off" the address so that any mail to that
address would
bounce).
