a customers server got hacked.. binary in tact, seems like they were DDoSing.. strings brings up the irc server, channel name, key.. where is the fbi address where i can send this information to?

The FBI will not take the case unless you can provide concrete evidence that your customer suffered more than $10,000 in losses due to the intrusion. Failing that, there's nothing the FBI will do unless your customer is very well-connected politically.


I recommend using this this incident as an object lesson in developing and implementing policies and procedures for intrusion forensics for your customer. That way, when (not if) the day comes that you qualify to haul in the FBI, the evidence chain will be unassailable.
