What do you do if you find fake information in whois result

If personal firewall software reports certain address by attack detection feature, I try 'whois' command in order to identify some information about the attacker. This trial of whois command is so useful by means of ability to reveal information of certain destination. but what I doubt in this case how much reliable the command's result is. Although some result reveals honest information about attackers, some other result seems containing fake information that makes whois trial useless. What do you do when you find fake information has revealed by whois command? Any gleamy light shed upon this sort of darkness?
 
Not quite sure what you mean by fake information...

You can get a program like visual route or neotrace and "maybe" find out who is scanning you...maybe not get that far. You can always complain to the webmaster of their ISP but you will have to document the exact time, ip address, type of attack etc.


OTOH, most all of this probing is harmless port scans etc. If you get a router most all of it will cease and your software firewall will stop poping up and making you nervous.
