Reporting Misuse
In order to efficiently process your report we need you to send as much information as possible and your contact email address and phone number. Below are details that we will need from you when investigating internet misuse. Reports will not be investigated until the below details are received, so if any of the below is missing from your report, please re-send the information.
1) Reporting port scanning, attempted hacking and firewall activity
Where your report is based upon information obtained from a firewall, please ensure that you send the relevant unedited firewall log (or excerpt). Please ensure that the log includes the time, date and time zone.
You also need to confirm that the clock on your PC is accurate and that you are using the correct time zone for your locale. If your clock is inaccurate please indicate how many minutes and seconds wrong it is (There is an online clock website to check your PC clock here: http://www.timeticker.com/main.htm).
Screenshots or image files will not be accepted as evidence of a system intrusion.
If you see any other misuse on your own servers originating from a NE1 IP Address, then please send us the following information:
