Internet Protocol addresses are unique numbers assigned to devices (mobile phones, computers) that can access the internet. This address allows the devices to receive and send information across the internet.
Internet protocol addresses allow service providers to pinpoint the location of any device on the internet. During the early ages of the internet, IP addresses were used only as numbers until recently when alphabets have been added to make up for the growing use of the internet.
How do I know if my IP address is being monitored?
IP addresses are liable to hack, exposing users’ personal information, location, browsing activities and other details.
The most common ways IP addresses get hacked is through the use of spam email or phishing link which records the user’s keystroke and send it to a second party who can either undertake hideous activities with it or sell it.
