I will keep this brief someone hacked one of our servers and proceeded to delete the entire file system. I have filed a police report, but after meeting with the computer crimes division I was told I have no case since the IP of the attacker was from Intuit Inc corporate office in California (I am in California also) and could be ?anyone?. Though I have pounds of circumstantial information (all logging was done through NFS to a different box), I can?t prove ?who? was at the terminal when it occurred. I was put out of business by this action as well as destroyed year?s worth of work (don?t tell me about backups this WAS the backups). The police informed me that I may have a civil case. Suggestions? Lawyer recommendations?
