Can you do a WHOIS lookup on the IP or hostname or anything? Sounds like some people really need to be warned?

the IP addresses are registered to telecommunications companies since the controllers are at some remote plant that just has cable, DSL, cellular modem so the IP address is owned by Telus, Shaw, Comcast, TW, Verizon, etc.

If there'd been any contact information in the programs I definitely would have gotten in touch

If you just turn them off, you'll probably find out whose they are when the FBI shows up.

If you reported it to the telecoms companies they would surely be capable of forwarding the information on.

Whether they would actually bother is another matter, of course.
