Abstract
Provided is a method and system for alerting an Internet service provider (ISP) having a server, or an Internet Connected Computer (ICC), that a potential hacker may be using it to attempt to access a target. The method detects a hacking event at the target, and reports the hacking event to a server located outside the target. The server may then report the hacking activity, including the identity of the hacker, to the target system's administrator, or another party, such as government entities. The system, which may be implemented as software, uses a monitor module and an action module to alert an Internet service provider that a hacker may be using it to attempt access to a target.
