Here's the story. Today this guy named kingkb24 and I got into a fight in Minecraft He said I barely did any work and that I didn't deserve to be the same rank as him, which was God (aka Owner) So we started arguing.. Eventually it got to the point where another guy, owner of the website and network got involved and then king forced him to de-rank me Later I went back into King's server. He hadn't banned me yet and I still had OP controls I filled the spawn and his statue with TNT and exploded it and crashed the server [B]ANYHOO.[/B] An hour later he had found out and texted me saying Ur fucking screwed I have ur phone number, ip, and password I asked him what he would do with that information and he said I would see tomorrow. I'm worrying, what exactly can someone do with your IP, phone number, and password? I dont even know what password he has, and [B]my phone got blocked from online services earlier this year.[/B] What can someone do with my IP, phone number, and some.. random.. password..? [B]I don't know much about online things like IPs and that kinda stuff... so.. :P worrying.[/B] [B]EDIT[/B] [B]More Info[/B] -PFPortChecker program says my router cannot be pinged. (idk what exactly that means) -I have port fowarded my IP for MC before, but after this I resetted it to its defaults -I'm on a notebook PC so I have wireless connections

I think the worst he can do is sign your phone number up for a bunch of services. I recommend changing your phone number.

To answer your question, he COULD find out where you live, come there with a gun and shoot everyone you love. Most likely he'll just revert your idiotic actions and go on with life, like a normal person. -

OMG HE CAN PING YOU! EDIT: don't most minecraft servers backup their world hourly/daily

The most he can do with your IP Address is find out the city you may live in and if he is going to go that far, use Denial of Service attacks, although if you have a dynamic IP Address you should be fine. As for the phone if he really wants to go that far into SMS Bombing etc, you should change your phone number.

in my experience with minecraft ips i have port fowarded my ip (but put the settings back normal after this thing) and used the program called PFPortChecker. it would say my port is open and then my port would be forwarded but wud always say it couldn't ping my router. good? bad? -

can you tell me what you mean by a dynamic IP address? is that a static iP? i'm on a notebook PC so it has wireless connections. -

If you cannot ping to your router, that means you cannot be on the internet with your router... In anycase, your nemesis pinging you is not harmful..

Dynamic means the IP will change. -

Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar terminology.

Or in laymans term, when you ping someone you are checking if you can access the other computer or device by sending packets and receiving packets. the time it takes to send and receive will tell you how good of a connection there is. btw how are you able to be a server admin or "god" if you dont know these general knowledge needed for servers

The only thing he can do with your ip is look up where you live. But its not like hes going to do anything about it. But yeah might want to get a new phone #

Date: Mon, Oct 17 2011 00:54:51
just to be clear, he cannot precisely know where you live with your IP unless he has connections for ISP, cops, etc~

If he can get your IP, he can probably also get your general location: http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation Dynamic or not, your ISP will still generate IPs local to your area. The pw he got is probably also the one you used to log in to Minecraft, so consider changing any of your passwords if you use the same one for other things like a lot of people do. The IP he probably got was just the one you used to connect to the server, which would have been relatively easy to obtain. Dunno how he might have got your number.

Bump(?) Thanks for all your help and suggestions Today is the day that he'll apparently do something What I have done so far is... -Changed my external IP (it's impossible to change the router one or something, right?) -Changed my Minecraft PW -Disabled remote control on the computer -My phone is blocked from online services so hopefully that does enough, I will request a number change if it gets overboard I dont think he'll get to the point of actually coming over to where I live and... what would he do anyways. It seems like very little that I did, but I think that's the most I can do for now (besides changing other PWs and my phone #) Feel free to provide more info about this stuff Thanks for the help! :)

Try installing a firewall on your computer so the person will not use your ip to hack your computer?

The comp already has firewall but I dont know what to configure
