How are they a hacker? Did they just run a port scan, could be a virus. I would report them to perhaps abuse@verizon.net if you feel this is a constant attack. Perhaps contact tech support and complain. They would hear out your complaint, and see who has the static address asigned to them.

If you google earth the 38.906N,  77.017W location for the IP, it shows on M St NW Washington, D.C. Most likely a Verizon C.O. but who has the static address is the question.

I too have been hammered by almost a DOS attack. Looked at my firewall logs and came up with this. Also reported to security@verizon.net. Restarted my connection to get a new IP.

{edited for privacy}

This was not a static but a dynamic address from a pool.

This data no longer matters because I have a new IP.

Sample from my firewall. Time is UTP. Note source and destination ports. Like a bit torrent machine was attempting a connect.

425 M St NW Washington, DC. Looks like a Verizon CO. Or some non descript Gov building. It is amazing what pictures Google Earth will give you. It even let me zoom in on the Address.

Here is a picture of the building from Google Earth which is where your IP was also.
