I'd try to contact the owners of the systems in the list personally. Posting such a list of machines thought to be cracked would accomplish little except getting those machines further probed/attacked. I would suggest trying to see what domains the IPs belong to and just shoot out some mail to [email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected] or any other likely admin accounts with a heads up. -- Josha Bronson <[email protected]> Network/Systems/Security Engineer josha.net || dmuz.angrypacket.com
