What is the IP address? What's the harm?

Product: Internet Security By: Richie Brody Created: (28,12,2021 at 19:11 PM)

An IP address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a network interface on a machine. IP addresses are usually written in decimal notation, separated by four eight-digit periods. Each 8-bit field represents a byte of an IP address.


Every time you go online, your IP address lets the server know where to find you. For example, you can access it through this website.


However, IP addresses contain many details, such as:

  • Your country

  • Your area

  • Your city

  • Zip code

  • Your latitude and longitude

    ……


You may not share this kind of information with strangers, but you're already online.


One of the biggest trackers of your digital life is your Internet service provider, or ISP. Because your IP address is the only one assigned to you, they can easily monitor everything you do.


By law in most countries, ISPs must keep records of your digital activity and browsing history. If you're using a file sharing or streaming platform, they may even be forced to monitor traffic and throttling speed.


When dealing with isPs, authorities and law enforcement agencies often have smooth access to all content without the user's consent. And because of the way browsing databases work, information is usually sent in batches.


That way, even if you're not being investigated, if other ISP clients do something suspicious, your data will still be sent to the authorities.


In case you're not already worried about your privacy, I'll add: Many ISPs want to sell your data to advertisers.
