Hi folks, Quick security tracing question, flame me if you think offnetwork topic. Earlier this month my daughters Ibook was stolen, oh well that is life I guess. Anyway updated mail server software for full debug and IP log since noticed that mail account was accessed yesterday. I am now hoping it is access'd again, system was setup to pull each min so when they(thugs) access internet again hopefully will honeytrap IP number. What does one do next ? I guess inform police etc but would this be too slow ?? Do I contact ARIN/RIPE contacts direct ?? I know about software that should have been installed for tracing if stolen but wondered about in the real network world how useful this was and if any items recovered ??
