Your lawyer can find the appropriate recipient and write a cease-and-desist letter for you. After that, it's -their- lawyer's problem to track down the correct technical people.
No, that is terrible advice. In the immortal acronym of Laura Atkins, TWSD. The only response to a letter like that is "we run our network to serve our customers and manage it the way we think is best" and you know what, they're right. It is absolutely legal to block traffic you think is malicious, even if you are wrong, and there is case law. Having said that, I suspect the least bad alternative if you can't find an out of band contact is to get some of the Spectrum customers who can't reach you to complain. They're customers, you aren't.
