Who monitors for malicious activity on AT&T's network?

I have run across an AT&T customer running a bot farm on thir residential computer/network.

Who can I report this to?

per https://www.att.com/legal/terms.aup.html

Any complaints (other than claims of copyright infringement) regarding violation of this AUP by an AT&T Customer (or its user) should be directed to abuse@att.net. Where possible, include details that would assist AT&T in investigating and resolving such complaint (e.g., expanded headers, IP address(s), a copy of the offending transmission and any log files).

-------------------INCLUDED IN EACH POST FOR CLARIFICATION______
While AT&T employees do look at forum posts from time to time, we are here to represent the forum with our experiences as customers and do not represent AT&T in any official capacity with our responses and do so on our own time unpaid and off the clock. As employees we are not rewarded nor compensated to participate in these forums This forum is comprised of regular customers to communicate with other customers to offer advice and share experiences same as any other user Although there is a small team of customer care specialists that monitor the forums the sheer volume of posts are simply too many posts for these agents to respond to each one of them.
