Nemesis Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 its possible, but i will wait for someone more qualified than myself to explain how. dont want to give out bad advice ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I know that getting an IP from your YM! interlocutor used to be damn easy - dunno if the hole was fixed meantime. If direct file transfer is available, than your IP will be seen. Dunno about FB, but should be possible too, although I assume it would take considerably more effort.

Sonar Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I wouldn't be bothered about your IP unless you have a big bank account and doing something you shouldn't be doing, they wont target you for no reason.If a REAL hacker wants to get into your computer he will do it no doubt about that.Yahoo Messenger - File Transfer and knowing what to do - Yes.Facebook - With that many rouge apps/links flying around - Of-course. But your one in how many million? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmr1684 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 facebook chat based on browser programming language like java and related so it easy to get where are you from like country and state(if any) yahoo messenger is really individual program not like browser but basic of internet communication based on ip address only so nobody can't hide themselves, so hidden truth is everybody is naked when their oc connected to internet.
