Hi, I'm a 16 year old girl. I have a request for you, if you can explain a situation to me. I recently wrote to my friend on WhatsApp, whom we met on the Internet. He is of Dutch origin, but has lived in Sofia for a year. So I asked him how he was always sure that the person he wrote to before we met live was me, not some 50-year-old man with a fake profile, for example. (We met via Facebook). And he started to explain to me that he could very quickly find out which profile was fake and which was not. He could understand a person's real name, his address, even his bank account. And he asked me, "Don't you believe me" And I accordingly replied that I did not believe him. Then he sent me a link that said he was suspicious, I thought it was something to do with YouTube because he was writing yoütu. be. And did I sweat it, is this YouTube? And he said, "Yeah, it's a video, just open it and send a screenshot, I was naturally skeptical, but he insisted. He promised me that it wasn't a bad thing, just a Facebook page (and first he said it was a video ... Anyway, I clicked and my Facebook profile automatically opened, I sent him a screenshot and after a few seconds he sent me a screenshot with my IP address. And that, really, was my IP address, with the location I asked him if, once he saw my IP, he could see my messages in Messenger, for example, and he replied that he could, but not through this link, this link was just to prove to me that he could track the location. He didn't want to look at my messages either, but I was paranoid that he had access to my phone all the time, I don't know what to do, he is annoyed that I don't trust him. So my question is, can you really see all of a person's apps, chats, and Google searches through an IP address, for example?

Many things can happen. The better question is - with what mind do you open pages that are obviously fake. On top of that, your "friend" lied to you that it was YouTube. Stop trusting the personal information of various people, and even less to open stupid sites that not only some pishman hacker from the Netherlands will hack you, just see something really bad happened to me. Now march to clear your phone and change your passwords. And in the meantime, you can tactfully break up with your "friend", because obviously whatever trust you gave him was in vain. And with a person you can't trust - a yok relationship.
The link he sent you was obviously his and when you clicked it he redirected you to fb and your IP was recorded. With an IP, it can only see your location more or less. You can't hack your Facebook just like that, unless it's one of the top 1% of hackers in the world. The only option is to give you another link, which without realizing it will install a worm to monitor you. Or to give you a link to a site that is one to one like facebook, but with some small difference in the name, for example facedook. This is his set-up site, where when you enter your password, it becomes common. In general, if you visit suspicious links, or you are dealing with an elite hacker, only then there is reason to be paranoid.
To be able to. But this guy definitely scares you, I think that's what attracts you. Aren't we always falling for bad boys? What did he do in Sofia?
I don't know what exactly he sent you, it could be a link that would just record an i-pit, it could do other things, we can't know. In principle, IP is not difficult to find, but only with it nothing who knows what can not be done. But if you open such links as you are talking about, in practice you can allow it to confuse you everywhere in profiles, files, accounts. My advice for the future is not to open such dubious links, and do not be afraid of the rest. Anyone a little more familiar with computers can find it, but other than seeing the city you live in (you can rarely find an exact location, it's hard) it can't do anything very scary.
He must have turned on your camera and microphone and watched you naked.
He told you you were a fool, and you confirmed you were.
The answer is no. You have to "infect" a person's computer so you can start seeing. If you opened other links from him, he may have uploaded a bug to your computer and it is no longer yours. At the moment with this link he knows your IP address, from it he knows more or less where you are. If a supplier gives him information, he can know exactly where you are.
Bullshit...
Abe, let me tell you something about these IPs. If you think he has found your IP, you can do 2 options: Change your IP address by calling your ISP or download a program that allows you to change your IP address over a period of time or you manually to change it. I say this because a friend and I used it, because he was playing a game and it was BAS from there, right, and he changed his IP address and went back to the server with another address. I used the RAT program, with which you can fry any type of computer, because it allows you to log in wherever you want, including Facebook. The guy just used Google, where there are thousands of sites to check the IP address and it says where you live and possibly the name of the computer. He's a big hacker, but he doesn't realize he can go to court for that. There is NO way to see the messages in the messenger unless you break your password. The other option is to call someone who understands a little more than these basic things and tell you that he did it. The idiot remains an idiot, if he boils it, he bakes it, he is still an idiot. It is told to you by a person who has been involved in computer technology and such things, and he knows what he is talking about. M23
I am the author, thank you very much to the commentators, especially number 9. I spoke again on this topic with the Dutchman, he said that everything was correct, he promised me not to do such things anymore and not to deal with my personal information.
