Ask HN: I was the victim of a targeted cybercrime and found the perpetrator
Through some sleuthing I was able to determine from WHOIS / DNS records who runs the server running UChicagoAnon.com. This person lives in East Brunswick, New Jersey. I was able to make contact with said person on Facebook, where he admitted to running the server but claimed that a friend of his with access to the server is responsible for the emails and the website. Of course, I am unable to verify any of these claims myself.
I've already filed a report with the local university police department (unable to follow up due to jurisdiction), and I've also tried to follow up with the East Brunswick PD, but they refuse to file reports over the phone. Finally, I've also reported the incident through http://ic3.gov.
What are my options at this point? Right now I've only been playing defense, and I'd like to go on the offensive and go after this guy to make sure this doesn't happen again. Is there anyone else I can contact? Needless to say, this is very frustrating since I have a name, address, and phone number that can be investigated, but it seems that most agencies in the United States are reluctant to investigate cybercrimes.
