Can people stalk you online just by knowing your IP Address?
well, technically YES, they can...they can hack into your computer using server attacks....there might be other methods, but the one i`m 100% sure they can use are TROJAN viruses, they act like backdoors and they can use this to see your desktop, webcam, use your printer, change settings, etc...in other words, full access to your computer...however, this can happen if you accept files to be transfered to your computer via LAN, irc programmes, downloads of any kind, transfers from cd...the best deffence is a good antivirus + anti-spyware... by using your ip, i doubt they can spy on your computer unless they hack into your network, but your network has protection against those kind of abuses ... what they can do is steal your ip- adress and restrict your access to the internet..you should ask your internet provider/s about the level of security while online, they should know better...what i do know for sure is that your provider deffinately knows where you`ve been online (because the server stores your activity) and a person using a trojan virus stored on your computer can also find out by viewing your internet history...the bottom line is that if somebody wants to stalk you via internet, that somebody would have to go trough a lot of trouble to do so...it`s quite difficult, and you have to know exacly what you are doing
Reply:Yes, people can stalk you via the Internet. It's illegal but some folks do it anyway.
Reply:yes they sure can ams you should report them for this to yahoo customer care or your isp provider
Reply:I'm stalking you right now.
Reply:I believe it's illegal to stalk and to find out someone else's IP address as well. It happens but if someone on Answers told you how, then they might be breaking a law. So the answer is yes, but it is against the law.
