So I had an “Interesting” encounter with an individual on community website. He became an ass really fast, and went as far as threatening me, saying he’d come to Vancouver, and so on… The great thing about technology is, I now have a record of this person thanks to my server log. I knew he was in Victoria. The conversation started over a track-able subject All I had to do was look for someone viewing information on that in the time period. With a simple IP Lookup, I now have his location. So if he as much of an ass as he sounded, and tries anything, I can deliver this information to the police and they’ve got him. If you think you are anonymous on the internet think again. Every website you visit tracks this type of information. If you know enough you can find out where the person lives. If you are being harassed online, consult an IT tech, and have them help you find this information. It may help you later when trying to prove your case if they do something against you.
