General Support / IP Address Spoofing
« on: May 01, 2019, 11:07:12 pm »
I just observed this and got a screenshot of it.
The spoofer left within seconds of me checking to see who was online. The IP address of the guest was IDENTICAL to mine! I have no other computers in my home.
As you can read from above, I have had images, particularly those that criticize the hydrocarbon hellspawn fossil fuel Industry, fail to display, even though the code for a given image has not changed. I have also noticed images that I have previously "approved" to appear "not approved" a few days later whn I check my images in the gallery.support
Do I have to go to my ISP and ask for a new IP address? Should I be worried about this? Yes, someone obviously can spoof my IP address, but does that mean they can attack my computer? support
Despite having spoofed my IP address, I don't think they can Log into my Forum (or any place else I log into) unless they have figured out my (VERY LONG AND COMPLEX) password for the Forum (and all other websites I visit).support
Do you have any advice for me on how to keep my images from being hacked and whether this IP address spoofing is dangerous to me?
