I have had a several of those types of cases. I have even gotten several
convictions on people doing Back Orifice ping sweeps of IP ranges. I'll talk more
about that next month. As far as what you can do legally...contact your local law
enforcement or Pa. State Police in Media (484-840-1000) and they know how to get a
hold of me. Cracking is definitely a crime that can and has been prosecuted. They
don't even have to destroy or take anything, just the mere fact that they access
your computer without your authorization is a crime.
