Quick note here. After about 20-25 minutes being tossed between hold and various reps that either weren't sure what I was talking about I finally got a hold of the IT manager for Comcast. He is going to have someone from their broadband area that handles their abuse issues contact me with information on reporting issues. As soon as I receive that info I will pass it on. Michael D.

Hello, Does anyone out there have a valid abuse reporting contact for the comcast.net domain? Comcast is a cable internet provider who owns both the comcast.com and comcast.net domains. Their customers often appear in my firewall logs attempting massive port scans, probes for trojans... your usual "script kiddie on a broadband connection" type of stuff. Their Web sites feature mostly inane drivel and marketing promotions, providing nothing useful in the way of company contact details. I sent reports of their users abusing my firewall only to have emails to abuse () comcast net and abuse () comcast com bounce back to me. Anyone have the valid abuse email? Perhaps a phone number? (Am i alone in wishing that there could be SEVERE legal - or preferably physical - penalties for anyone found operating a domain WITHOUT valid postmaster and abuse email boxes? I'd personally volunteer to my resources to dispatch test emails to domains at random for those two addresses, demanding a response. If one didn't arrive in a certain amount of time, then oversight bodies would be called in to levy fines, public floggings, etc. ah well, a man can dream.)
