Database last updated on 8-Aug-99 03:53:54 EDT. You now have an entity name, postal address, contact person, and even a phone number and e-mail address. The data may be quite old; the person might be on vacation. If it is a large entity, the phone message probably gives clues as to the department and possibly a way to contact a secretary or someone else who can connect you to the correct person if the named person is unavailable or gone. In a large organization, you might encounter a lot of "I dunno" or lack of interest when you are tracing this intrusion. Remember that this is an emergency and that a crime may have been committed with this company's equipment. You might ask for the Computer Security, Computer Operations, or MIS departments. Be aware that many companies are suspicious of headhunters trying to steal their people, so do explain who you are and why you are calling, if necessary. If nothing else works, you could ask for their Human Resources Department and ask what department he works in or did work in or his manager's name.
