So there is a player in the game that targets me on the Risa map and has the ability to give me and anyone else a lag spike that disconnects us. I need help and cant find a place to get any. Anyone got a link?

It would help if you could clarify a bit what exactly happens : what is that player doing to lag you invalid / cause you to disconnect ?... without naming him, though.
Also, you can report abuse in-game by right-clicking the player's name and sending an abuse report.
She taunts us and then next thing we know, boom, lag spikes followed by DC. My Guess is she uses the DDoS thing. Not to familiar with it. But shes literally stalking me right now. Any time im in the same map as her she stalks me and gives me crash after crash. I have submitted tickets ingame, but nothing has happened.
To be perfectly honest, you really have no recourse here except to leave the area and try and avoid the player. I know it's not a great answer, but it's the truth. Cryptic/PWE does not monitor in game behavior or enforce the code of conduct. It's one of the most unfortunate things about this game.
I don't think you can DDOS a single player. DDOS attacks the servers as a whole, I believe.

They have a hacker in their game that is Disconnecting people and making them log off. That means they are not having fun which equates to not spending money. They had better do something about it. Or else my days of being a whale for them are over.
I dont know that world to well. All I know is that me and any friends on the same map as her all DC after she is done taunting us.
That's not exactly true. As many people know, there are certain powers/devices that tend to cause lag. Note: this is a *development* problem that needs to be fixed. However, certain people *know* which powers/devices cause these issues, and can "target" other people by using those power/devices in proximity to their target. Especially if certain people get together and plan one of these "attacks" as a group. Certain people/groups have actually made something of an "art" out of this kind of behavior.

Is there some specific reason that makes you think this is something that's aimed towards you specifically?

Having two events happen one after another doesn't mean one thing caused the other, especially not recently when Risa has been so unstable and prone to crashing.
EDIT: Either way. Reports you make in game will go to customer support, and I have no doubt that they'll help if they can.
No idea if that's possible at all and I think everyone is getting lag and DC's these days anyway.
Unless the target is known to the attacker such that they were able to acquire their IP somehow, no. If you exchanged emails with someone, for example.
Even if that happened, that would be an attack happening outside the game, not something inside.
