Any legal gurus out there?? Long story, but I'll summarize; On Friday 05/16 my T1 went down. In troubleshooting attempts it was discovered that a machine, on my network was being used maliciously. Not hacked, but Squid was being used to relay mail (i.e. SPAM). The machine was immediately brought down, and Squid was disabled. I received a call from my ISP, and they are NOT happy. Looking @ the logs, it appears that several thousand SPAM emails may have been sent. What should I do? Can I pursue each ISP in attempts to track down the guilty parties? Can I take any legal action against them? This is the last straw! I'm so frickin' sick of SPAM, and now people potentially got some w/ my IP address! Grrr!!! Any suggestions, advice would be greatly appreciated.
