the best thing is if you call the FBI, or NIPC.  if you call your local FBI
field office and say you're experiencing a cyberattack and could they give
you the number for NIPC then it'll probably produce the results you want,
even if NIPC has been renamed one or more times since i last talked to them,
or if this old functionality within FBI is now handled by DHS, or both.
