SECURITY ISSUE! Can someone get my home address fr...

Hello.
Can a person get my full home address/name etc from my youtube account? or indeed from a public forum post such as this one?
When someone says "i have your ip address" can they actually find my house now?
This is a very serious issue as i have recieved personal threats from a youtuber who noww says he will post mine (and others) home addresses on his website and then "deal with us"....
Now ofcourse he could be bluffing... But if by some means i go onto his site and find my full name and address on his website then it can only of come from someone at BT BROADBAND correct?
Just how can this be done? Im very worried. I would ofcourse take legal action agains BT if an employer had gave my address out to a random person who called up and said "i need the address of this IP holder"
Am i worrying over nothing?
please reply soon.
thanks
(and under no circumstances try and contact me via phone or anything)

Hi anonymous66, the short answer is no.
As regards the personal threats from someone on youtube, You should report these (with any evidence if possible) to Youtube.
You also say:
"Now of course he could be bluffing... But if by some means i go onto his site and find my full name and address on his website then it can only of come from someone at BT BROADBAND correct?"
No , that is not correct.
For all you know that person on Youtube who is threatening you could turn out to be your next door neighbour/ your milkman, your postman or one of a thousand other people you know.
If he was of sufficiant intelligence to hack into BT's databases, then I am sure he would be able to hack into countless other companies databases.
You say "Am i worrying over nothing?"
Not nothing, but as long as you take adequate precautions when you are online then you are safe.
In over 20 years of computer use using online purchases/banking and all manner of things, I have only ever had 2 unauthorised  money transactions. Both were dealt with in a timely manner with just phone or email contact with my online bank and an Online Payment company .
Now fill in this form for youtube and complain and about the stupid person.

  • Previous iPod Touch worked fine, new iPod Touch can't get an IP Address

    I had a version 1.1.4 iPod Touch for several days and it worked quite well. I was able to automatically connect to wireless connections at work, at home and at my parents house without meddling with any wireless settings and by just using DHCP.
    The other day I exchanged the iPod Touch for a different one, due to a defect in the case manufacturing, and with this iPod Touch, I haven't been able to connect to any of the previously mentioned wireless networks. I noticed that I wasn't able to get an IP address at all at my parents house, but I figured it was because I hadn't upgraded to 1.1.4, and was still at 1.1.3. I upgraded to 1.1.4 though this morning and at the work network, I'm having the same issue. I can easily connect to the wifi networks, but if I look at the DHCP settings, it's all blank. I can't get an IP address.
    I looked around the forum here and found a great deal of people who for some reason couldn't connect to their particular wireless setup. This problem however is different in that I could easily connect to many wireless setups, but now that I've seemingly just switched to a different iPod Touch, I can't connect to the same ones at all.
    It seems weird to me that the issue could just be that I got a different iPod, and I really think there must be some other reason, but I can't think of one. From all outward appearances they're the exact same. Same networks, same version.
    What else could be the issue?

    If your new Touch can't get on any network, then does it have a MAC address assigned to it? Go to Settings/General/About and scroll to the bottom to see if you have a "Wi-Fi Address", which is the MAC address assigned to your particular unit.
    See this article for reference:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306067
    If you're able to get on some networks but not others (where you had no problem before) then perhaps there is a subtle difference in the new unit's performance. You can try restoring it to see if that helps, but that means erasing everything and starting over.

  • I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

    I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?

    Dear Dan,
    It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
    So what I did was tested and worked for years.
    You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
    Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader.

  • How can I get mail to address addressees by their first name, first?

    I like it that Mail is integrated with Contacts. But when I type a name in the To: section, it is always shown as last name, first name. How can I get Mail to address my friends as Gary Smith, not Smith Gary??

    I don't think whether it's easier or not is really an issue.  The problem is that all of these wonderful technologies are taking away our understanding of how to communicate in writing.  It's not a matter of being lazy and not "wanting" to do it, but rather getting to a point where many people "can't" do it.
    I certainly wasn't pointing any fingers.  I use a calculator (or computer if I happen to be on one at the time) to do the most basic math calculations.  I can be out to lunch with co-workers and we have to pull out a calculator to split a bill 4 ways.  I went through school at a time when calculators were not permitted.  So, at one time, I could have easily done all of that stuff in my head.  So far as math goes, my mind has turned to mush a long time ago.  I doubt I could work my way through a long division problem at this point... even if I sat there and really tried.
    Computers were not generally consumer items when I was growing up.  So I didn't grow up in a world with spell checking.  I have certainly grown to use it though and I'm sure my ability to spell properly has diminished somewhat because of it.  I tend to be less careful when typing something out.  If I'm not sure of the spelling on something, I just let my computer either fix it or give me a suggestion for the corrected spelling.  Fortunately, I grew up having to rely on my own ability to spell, so with that foundation, I tend to do fairly well when it comes to spelling.
    We're at a point now where systems can correct grammar and sentence structure.  I think all of these are great tools to help us out, but they shouldn't be used to take the place of actually knowing how to do things.  Having said that, I'm fairly sure that is exactly what will happen.  Just as today, I rely almost entirely on some form of electronics for everyday math, I'm sure people growing up today with expert systems able to correct everything will rely on those equally.

  • How can I delete the home address of the contact person

    Hi Experts,
    I want delete the home address of the contact persons in the ERP.
    Which data and where can you found it:
    In Tx xd02 in the general data of customer - register "contact person" and then button "home address".
    There I want delete all fields. When I looked in F1 - technical information I don't get the information in which table the data are included. I know only the structure.
    I think the general data of the contact person I have to look in the table knvk.
    The private and the business email address I can find in the table ADR6.
    In the table knvk there is a field "address number". I  know when there is a number then the contact person has a home address and when this field is empty then for this contact person isn't maintain a home address.
    Could I delete this field "address number" in the table knvk? Is then the home address automatically deleted?
    I don't know how can I delete this field. Can anybody tell me how can I do this? I looked in the Tx xd99 this field isn't available there.
    Or does anybody know how can I delete the home address of the contact persons on another way?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best regards, Jasmin

    Hi,
    I am sorry, I forgot to say I don't want delete only one home address. Yes, you are right, then I could delete it manually.
    But I want to delete all private addresses, so I should have a tool for mass deletion.
    Does anybody know how can I do this?
    Best regards, Jasmin

    How to Manage your Apple ID: Manage My Apple ID

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

    How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
    (to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

    As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

  • Can't get iCal and Address Book to sync properly

    I recently upgraded to Office 2008. Since then, I can't get iCal and Address book to sync properly with Entourage 2008 (I did set all three sync criteria in Entourage preferences). None of Entourage's events go into iCal (iCal is blank) and the Address Book has 10 times as many names as Entourage. Everything in Entourage 2008 is correct and everything in iCal and Address Book is essentially wrong.
    Is there some way for me to erase everything in Address Book and iCal and start the sync between them and Entourage from scratch? Ultimately, I am trying to get Entourage to sync with my new Blackberry, which it does through iCal and Address Book using Missing Sync. I can't make this happen until information is flowing properly from Entourage to iCal and Address Book.
    Thank you!

    BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING - BACK UP ALL YOUR DATA IN ENTOURAGE.
    You can delete everything in iCal by deleting the calendar (Entourage or Personal or temp or whatever Calendar is there). You can delete everything in Address book either by highlighting all the contacts and hitting delete or by deleting the Address Book folder in Address Book.
    The key in getting them to sync properly with Entourage is deleting all the preferences in your Library folder under <your user>. Delete anything with Microsoft Entourage in it. I also deleted iCal preferences and Address Book Preferences.
    I also found it necessary to go to the Office folder and delete the sync services folder.
    Also go to Entourage sync services and turn OFF syncing with iCal and Address Book. Exit Entourage.
    Go to your application folder, isync - reset sync history (button at bottom of screen).
    Then bring up Entourage, sync services, and reactivate syncing with iCal and Address Book.
    Everything should work. I have been struggling with this the last week or two. I've had innumerable exchanges with MS who have said anything with syncing is not their problem it's an apple application. Through these discussion boards I pieced together all of the elements above. But be sure to back up anything you want to keep before you do any of this.
    It should work. It did for me (at least last night and all day today). Good luck.

  • Can't get an IP address from my Linksys WRT54G?

    Hi,
    I've been using this router for a few years now without much problems but  now for the last few days I have been unable to access the Internet from my WiFi remote PC.
    There is a strong signal reaching the PC but it can't get an IP address?
    I've reconfigured the router a few times now and made sure the remote PC is configured right but I keep getting this result:
    "Can not acquire an IP address."
    Can anyone help me with this?  What is happening here and how to I fix it?  Thank you.

    Delete the wireless profiles you have in windows then try to connect again. Do you get internet access when connected directly to the router?
