[wplug] Govt. authority over crack attempts?

[Russ Schneider]

Does anyone else think there should be some sort of government authority 
when it comes to illegal crack attempts of networks?  (If their is one, 
what is it?)

I mean, it seems that since I set up my new webserver, I get at least 
one "script kiddie" attempt a day on it (see here for a list 
http://www.sugapablo.net/scripts.php ).

What I envision is a central database where sys admins can post the IP, 
date, and script attempted of any attempt to illegally access a network. 
  This data can then be used by law-enforcement to issue warnings and 
then fines for inaction to the originating network owners.

Think about it, if you're an AOL or Earthlink user, and you try to crack 
another network, it would be no problem for AOL to simply shut you off 
(or pass along the cost of a fine to your credit card), etc.
