Someone got my address from my IP?

Question

I'm pretty sure it my my IP address, I don't use my real last name and it was on MyYearbook.com. Anyone know how to find IP addresses on that site? I've looked at like the code for everything..

Answer 1

They did not get your home address from your IP address.



There are utilites that can tell you the approximately where you are, but they can be very inaccurate



http://remote.12dt.com/ - cannot resolve my address

http://www.whatismyip.com/tools/ip-address-lookup.asp - says I live in Rochester, New York

http://www.ip2location.com/ - says I live in Rochester, New York

http://ip-details.com/ip-search - - says I live in Rochester, New York

http://www.ip-adress.com/ip_tracer/ - says I live in Wichita, Kansas



I do not live in Rochester or Wichita , or even New York state or Kansas.



http://www.myyearbook.com/ is affiliatedwith Facebook, so if you gave Facebook your address they may have got it from them.



That video given by saucabinet is hilarious but for all the wrong reasons. As someone on Youtube said "if he is the next generation hacker we won't need a antivirus program"

Answer 2

What address did they get? It did not come from the IP itself but there are software programs that can graphically look-up an active IP and map it to its source. Note: most of these apps only show you the city you are in.



Usually it will be a combination of other factors that lead to getting some address. Even the IP is an address.



If you do not want your private information known by others, do not put it online. It is bad enough your bank accounts, ssn, drivers license and other gov't regulated information is already online.



Using http without the s is bad idea and not using passwords that meet the minimum security requirements against today's password crackers is also a bad idea.



Do you have any other specifics to share that might allow a better answer for you?

Answer 3

YOu can get more information's from very powerful IP trackers below:

http://www.ip-address.org

http://www.ipaddresslocation.org

http://www.find-ip-address.org



But there is not any way to get real physical address from IP address.
