Hi

I have had increasing security warnings recently from my contact page 4 today alone from this IP

REMOTE_HOST: 78.46.86.16
REMOTE_ADDR: 78.46.86.16

USER IP ADDRESS: 78.46.86.16

I have tracked it to Germany and know  its definately a spammer I would like to report it to somewhere other then just block with my host

Anyone know what to do

Cheers

Kathy

You can try reporting the attacks giving details of the IP address & date & time (include info on the timezone as well). Who can tell if they will do anything about it. Personally I'd just block that IP address as it seems, if it's a repeat offender, that they are using a static IP.

I've taken a look at the German company, since I'm German (well now American citizen, but was born and raised there).  They are a hosting company, which means on of their customers is doing it.  I would submit the complain to them and see if they can help.  I'm pretty sure they speak English.

Hi Katharina

I have just contacted them they look like a decent company, but also had to block the IP for the time being, as this one is worryingly persistent

Thank you for your help

Kathy
