Dave - At that point I've contacted the provider where the login attempts
where
	from... (about 5 different providers)... but no-one answered my request
	for information...

	How do you usually handle this? where do you find help in tracing hackers?
	do service provider MUST provide you with this kind of information only
	based on our log files?



Patrick - Depending on the state that you are in the laws should govern and
help you in your 	pursuit of happiness. If needed contact your local law
enforcement agency (the local means 	where the box is actually located) and
get them involved. Computer hacking is a crime 	punishable in many states
and depending on the nature of it can result in very serious 	charges. I
know some of the clients I have worked with haven't gotten a response from
an 	isp until we got involved and made contact with them and advised them
that it was a 	criminal investigation. Then they provided (happily or not)
with the requested information.
