(a)Shut down Internet connection

The most important step to consider if you suspect your systems security has been compromised is to shut off all connections to the Internet. Although this temporarily detains us from the ability to trace the PC responsible for the attack, it does enable us to first protect our information,which is probably your primary concern. Many firewalls, Zonealarm for one, possess the ability of maintaining a detailed description of attempted intrusions. If your firewall does alert you to possible invasions, it probably has the capability of providing the IP address as well.

(b)Install Firewall

(c)Contact ISP

Once you have obtained the name of the Internet Service Provider(ISP), the next step is to initiate contact with them. Most ISP s have some type of acceptable use policy,and typically illegal intrusion is not contained in it s guidelines.After you have reported the incident to the specific ISP, the punishment/penalty proceedings are in their hands (Hart, November 2003).
