Ask HN: I was the victim of a targeted cybercrime and found the perpetrator

10 点作者 whitehat2k9将近 12 年前
I'm a student at the University of Chicago. On May 29, 2013, a large number of people on campus (including faculty) received several unsolicited emails claiming to be from me, asking them to visit the website http://UChicagoAnon.com (now down.) At least one faculty member directly complained to me, claiming that she had encountered sexual content. These emails were sent through MailChimp, and signed with my name in an attempt to impersonate me. Thankfully MailChimp has shut down the account involved.<p>Through some sleuthing I was able to determine from WHOIS / DNS records who runs the server running UChicagoAnon.com. This person lives in East Brunswick, New Jersey. I was able to make contact with said person on Facebook, where he admitted to running the server but claimed that a friend of his with access to the server is responsible for the emails and the website. Of course, I am unable to verify any of these claims myself.<p>I've already filed a report with the local university police department (unable to follow up due to jurisdiction), and I've also tried to follow up with the East Brunswick PD, but they refuse to file reports over the phone. Finally, I've also reported the incident through http://ic3.gov.<p>What are my options at this point? Right now I've only been playing defense, and I'd like to go on the offensive and go after this guy to make sure this doesn't happen again. Is there anyone else I can contact? Needless to say, this is very frustrating since I have a name, address, and phone number that can be investigated, but it seems that most agencies in the United States are reluctant to investigate cybercrimes.

You could sue the guy for damages, if you believe there are some that would be valued by a court.

Have you tried reporting this to the FBI? It seems like this would fall under interstate fraud; though I am not sure if this damage is sufficient to provoke an investigation.
