IP Adresse ändern wegen Hacker?
Hey, ich hab grad eine Multiplayer App aufm Handy gespielt und ein Typ hat angefangen mich zu bedrohen und meinte er hat jetzt meine IP Adresse rausgefunden und dass ich Angst haben soll.
Jetzt meine Frage: Was soll ich tun, falls er wirklich ein Hacker ist, um mich zu schützen?
Ich bin nicht in der Materie drin aber habe rumgegoogelt und rausgefunden, dass man mich wohl nur mit der IP Adresse hijacken kann, was mir sehr Angst macht. Keine Ahnung ob er nur blöfft aber würde gerne trotzdem alle Sicherheitsvorkehrungen treffen die gehen weil gar kein Bock dass jemand auf meine Daten und schlimmstenfalls Bilder zugreifen kann was anscheinend durch Hijacking oder ähnliches geht.
Habe schon den Wlan Router für 10 minuten ausgesteckt und wieder angesteckt aber mache mir Sorgen wegen der anderen IP meines Routers und meines Iphones die anscheinend immer gleich bleiben. Habe auch eine VPN runtergeladen.
Falls sich jemand auskennt wäre es mega nett mir zu helfen hab grad echt Angst der Typ kam voll loco rüber 🙁 Kann ich irgendwie meine IPs ändern? Kann ich sonst noch irgendwelche Sicherheitsvorkehrungen treffen? Oder was soll ich bestenfalls tun?
Danke im Voraus 🙂

A good day, dear,
Don’t worry, it’s a bluff. With an IP address you can usually not start much and a “washed blackhat” will not attack you because of any multiplayer game on your phone…
Best regards
Thank you for the dear and quick answer:) what ua just let me get into it is that I did screenshots of what he wrote and he wrote a few seconds later on “got screenshots haha”. I got heart turf. But it can also be that he meant himself in terms of having screen-hot my Ip and that was a very stupid coincidence. That was also so about a quarter of a year after he allegedly found out my IP, I can’t imagine that he woke me so fast, but he doesn’t know me either.
If he knows your public IP address, he can confuse your network.
But if 99% safety fails on your router and will not continue.
Usually these IP addresses change regularly. Depending on the provider, it is changed every 24 hours or after a route restart.
Then he has no chance to find you.
With your internal IP, i.e. the one from Router in the network, mobile phone or PC, it can’t start unless it’s in your network.
I guess the IP of your router is 192.168.0.1. Simply because it is the standard IP of most routers. But even with knowledge, no one can get dangerous to you.
thank you for your helpful answer:) I hope it’s okay if I ask another question because there was an update. He wrote me an email. (I was in the app via my Iphone. So I signed up with my …@icloud.com email.) In this email he said he hacked me and installed Pegasus on my devices and sees everything I do. Upstairs my email stood in blue with underline like a kind of link I didn’t click on it. I didn’t click anything. My question: should I worry now? Apparently it’s easy to find out the public IP, is it easy to find out my encrypted email through an app? Bzw then has the stuff without having to install a link to Pegasus? Sorry for the long message tried to keep it as short as possible.
Now you have to ask yourself how he gets to your mail address. Is the app visible to other users? If so, you know.
Then it’s a mail that’s probably just gonna scare you. Then it is actually easier to get your mail address than your public IP.
And just because he can write you a mail doesn’t mean he can access your mailbox.
Between nem letter can send and all your letters can read is a big difference.
And just so, without having clicked a link without you doing “what is wrong” to subdue you a virus, it’s not that easy.
I assume he wants to scare you.
But you can fight.
Secure the evidence that’s easy, he’s writing to you.
Tell him to the app and if it gets too stupid, show him.
You don’t know if there’s really a crime, that’s hacking, but you have the reasoned suspicion because he’s just writing it and he claims what might be a crime in itself.
Many thanks for the detailed answer!:) no the mail is not publicly visible and actually I have logged in with my Iphone with the function to hide email. I always do that and I’m sure I did that there too, then the email will be encrypted for the app again. The funny, have just looked up and at once the app is no longer stored in the list of apps on my phone where the email is hidden?? So maybe he has deactivated this by the app again. the game is called Among us by the way. Apparently the game shouldn’t be as hard to decrypt as I’ve read now.. So maybe just hacked the app or something. I still find it funny with the email
On Windows this is not as easy as on Linux Distris.
On Linux this goes:
This allows you to view your information
Find the already established connections of the NetworkManager. These are edited with an editor and root privileges or copied to a new connection.
Section [IPv4] the registrations can be made there.
Changes to the configuration must be made by restarting the NM
or without systemd with
All entries are made via Shell/Bash/Terminal
wow thanks:o I will try
Your public IP address can be found easily. Whether you can attack is questionable. Unless you have 50 services running and 40,000 ports open.
Even if he has the IP, he won’t even be able to determine the exact location.
It’s just a growing child trying to scare you.
Thank you for your dear and informative answer:) probably you’re right and I’m getting completely unnecessary but what about the non-public IP that doesn’t always change? If he found them out, he can do so little.
Your private IP address (another address space) is in your network – not accessible from outside. Because it’s all about the router. And only the router has a public IP address – apart from VPN usage.
With this he can start much less, as you already write, this is not public, so it is not accessible from the internet.
How to write correctly;
on the next turn-on/off of your smartphone, you get a new IP address and he can’t do anything.
Thank you for your answer:) I have no idea of technology that’s why I might have expressed myself wrong with IP address. There is the ever-changing IP address, so to speak, internet connection, and according to my research, there is also an IP address (probably not the right word) from the cell phone itself that always remains the same. That’s what I meant.
The IP that gets your phone is awarded by the router for devices within your private network, right. The external IP address from your Internet provider (which is not changed for months, depending on the provider, or only if you set the router without current or explicitly reconnect it to the Internet) is available from the outside to your router. Depending on whether its firmware is up-to-date and all known mistakes are patched (stop the manufacturer, many do not make the effort to develop patches) it should be able to prevent conventional attacks. Unless you have released ports that you can access a Windows PC from outside.
You probably mean the MAC address; but don’t worry about it, the “normal” user isn’t coming in.
thanks for the detailed and helpful answer:)
