Too often though it is hard to determine who to contact - e.g. you have a random IP, you look it up in whois and you find it belongs to a cable-provider.

You can't map to that to an individual, unless you mail "abuse@isp" and hope they pass along the message.

The alternative is to download all the private data, looking for email addresses and hoping for the best - i.e. They don't send a mail to "abuse@fbi.gov" about a hacker stealing their data and similar.
