So I was on the ASrock forums and saw this post and I was confused so I clicked on it to see what it is.AScreenshot_347.png.04a4c9264899ac5f1cec51e1871ce033.png

And it was a link, a bad link. It looked like it was a grabify link or something of the sorts cause when I clicked on it it just didnt load. If it was a grabify they can really only ddos right? And it coulkdnt have downloaded anything without me seeing right?

 

Now I know to open those links in opera lol

If I were you i'd report the post, maybe change your passwords?

Eh so many passwords tho. What I did in case its a grabify or ip grabber is went into opera with my vpn and spammed the sh** out of the link lol. If it isnt an ip grabber and its something else then well rip

I have clicked on one of those links in youtube comments that are posted by bots but i don't think anything happened.

I wouldn't worry, if it was something bad you would probably know.

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Spying on everyone to fight against terrorism is like shooting a mosquito with a cannon

So it's true that some people get a static IP from their ISP by default? O_o

At least in most of the US, IP addresses are usually bound to the MAC of the modem/router with pretty long lease times.

I've had the same IP address for years :)

This is a very serious matter. What you are going to have to do is shoot your PC with a gun of your choice, put a grenade in it for safety so it can absorb the bullets and then call Linus to drop the PC. Repeat with Router/Modem.

 

xD

I'm roughly the same.

I keep the same IP for around 2-3 months.

If I want a static one then it will cost me around the same price as my whole internet package per month...

It's not a race to the bottom.
