Unfortunatly nothing is going to happen. Ever try and send a email to a "report at com" addy. It goes no place. 1) most people don't even know how to set up multible profiles to check that mail at all time while checking their own. 2) they prob get so filled with mail why would they want to.
Cd will attest that most of this stuff happens when a server admin or host is either sleeping at the wheel and not updating their shit. Not knoweldgeble enough (there are plently running very strong business who can't even spell server let alone manage one correctly). Or just not keeping up to date with the bad guys out there.
In order to change your site someone needs to have write access to the file/folder and that is not to easy to get if the servers permissions are correct and system updated (MS or LX). Or you just give out your password, write it on the bottom of your favor coffee mug or do what most people do and just stick it right on the monitor with a post it note.
If it were me I would be happy of the easy fix. Do a search and replace on the code of all your files. Look over the logs for shits and giggles and block the IP. But fact is they will keep comming from some other place so that is kind of a waste but still a good practice and can't hurt. Me I block all countries that have mostly low to no income. You know the odds of the person comming to your site and paying with their own creditcard is slim. My cam site is open to the world as most of the girls come from countries I would love to block.
