I am constantly getting attack from an intruder 87.248.104.123. My computers fire wall blocks it and alert me about intrution with Bla trojen hourse and I got this IP address from my internet security software. Can i find out who is the attacker and which is the location of attack from this IP address? Can any one trace the attacker from this IP address?. I think when I open yahoo messenger I am getting the attack. Is there any way of finding the persons behind the attack. What action can people take to punish such persons doing harm to others?. Is it possible to take some legal action against the attacker? Can Yahoo prevent and find out the intruders.I know updating my internet security and use of firewall can prevent such attacks but is there any cyber law or any system by which we can stop this menace.Can i know who is the attacker ? Please answer me.

This IP belongs to Yahoo! Europe - specifically in the UK. You can trace any IP adress by going to http://www.getip.com Contact Yahoo tech support and report this to them. Someone may be using their IP for malicious reasons and they'd likely want to know about it.

Most likely the attacker does not even know they are attacking you.
These days, most trojan attacks come from computers that are infected without the users knowledge. These "zombie" pc's send out random port scans looking for vulnerable computers to infect.
Attempting to take action against the person who has that IP address will probably lead to a dead end, as there is no way you will be able to trace the trojan back to the person who programmed it.

Well CA, used to have a tool in its firewall you could track them, the best thing to do is to report this to Yahoo, or your ISP is the best bet and let them go from there. And yes there are laws in place, and these people can be put in jail, but really the only thing you can do is to report, if you feel you must, or you can simply forget about it and keep your software up to date. There are so many people out there that is doing these kind of crimes along with Identity theft, it gets to the point when it comes to spyware and hacking, you can spend your whole life tring to lock people up for it, but you will never get anywhere, there is always someone else out there doing the same thing.

You got worms dude, I wonder where you've been surfing. Anyways you get my point one of the reason you might of gotten this is that you downloaded a program from the Internet or went to a website that automatically downloads worms into your computer with out notice. This worms are hard to get killed, first of all use a strong anti-virus program and run to search your full system. It might work, I got other method to get rid of worms but it's too much to write. But here is one not to fast but kind of simple. You format the hard drive and reinstall windows if you have it. If you don't have it and format the HD then you are screwed. If you format the HD you will lose all data if you don't back it up!

According to a whois lookup (links below), the address belongs to ripe.net, an outfit in Amsterdam.
With the e-mail contact information, you could send them an inquiry letter and ask them what's going on ... someone may be using the IP without their knowledge. Or there may be nothing malicious happening at all.
If it IS malicious, unless you're in The Netherlands (or possibly elsewhere in the EU, depending on where the offender actually is) you're not going to have any legal recourse against them.

who ever he is, the attack is from london using a server called:
stun1b.voice.ukl.yahoo.com owned by yahoo.
chances are he is using yahoo messenger to do something, which is masking his IP, or just using the server as a proxy.
Run a spy sweeper like ADAWARE. It may be going the other way, as in, you have a virus thats trying to contact that IP.

Is long as your system is protected, ignore it.
Do a Google / Yahoo (or Whois) search for: 87.248.104.123
I'll bet the Ping is coming from your ISP, and that's normal.
The Bla Trojan is a whole other issue.

Is your Yahoo Messenger on?
