Network attack - so what?
In my logs I find entries about attacks on my system. I know IP addresses, I know date and time and I know what they tried to do. So what's the best I can do now? Tell everybody that there are cybercriminals on that network? Write an email to their admin? Anything else?

NAME
Log::Agent::Driver::Mail - email driver for Log::Agent
SYNOPSIS
use Log::Agent;
require Log::Agent::Driver::Mail;
my $driver = Log::Agent::Driver::Mail->make(
-to => 'oncall@example.org',
-cc => [ qw( noc@example.org admin@example,net ) ],
-subject => "ALERT! ALERT!",
-mailer => [ 'smtp', Server => 'mail.example.net' ]
);
logconfig(-driver => $driver);
DESCRIPTION
This driver maps the logxxx() calls to email messages. Each call generates a separate email message. The Mail::Mailer module is required.
CONSTRUCTOR

-prefix An optional prefix for the message body.
-to The destination addresses, may be a scalar containing a valid email address or a reference to an array of addresses.
-reply_to
The reply-to addresses, may be a scalar containing a valid email address or a reference to an array of addresses.
-from The source address, must be a scalar containing a valid email address.
-subject
The subject line of the email message.
-cc The carbon copy addresses, may be a scalar containing a valid email address or a reference to an array of addresses.
-bcc The blind carbon copy addresses, may be a scalar containing a valid email address or a reference to an array of addresses.
-priority
The priority level for the email message. This is NOT related to the logging priority.
-mailer A reference to an array containing the optional arguments to Mail::Mailer->new(). Generally, this can be omitted.
