To stop the attacks, block the offending IP on your firewall. I believe there is even a way to automate it (block if somebody does something really bad enough times) - research the net on how to do it.
Assuming the offending host indeed has been hacked, and the attacker has not bothered to patch the hole to keep others from coming in, it should be technically possible to break into 69.72.229.26, patch the security hole, and remove the attacker from the system, but we (BYU students and alumni) do not believe in taking the law into our hands :-)
