Hacking through IP
| First off, run an antivirus or rootkit scanner on your computer.
Second, change the passwords of these accounts, the sooner the better.
Third, avoid using your fucking smartphone as much as you can. Probably it is there where all your evils are born.
That ip is registered to a Brasilian isp. Seems to be something that is used by a certain Arris Enterprises. It might be a router of a sort, or a honeypot trying to appear as one. It definitely is NOT a common computer.
| It might as well be a victim system from someone else, compromised and now used to further do weird stuff. Such as messing with your accounts.
As I said earlier... change the fucking passwords of yours. NOW!
| Thank you so much for all the info, I started changing my passwords and enabling 2 step verification. The only thing I had trouble with so far is Netflix because they changed the email associated with my account. I'll have to contact Netflix tomorrow. Thank you

| >>72182 I've changed a lot of my passwords, and each of them are different, I got my Netflix back, and I ran antivirus scans. My PC is safe but my phone had a couple suspicious apps.
| Second post author here. Yes phones are major offenders nowadays. Android and ios are the most attacked platforms, pc/x86 lost first place quite a while ago. Phones are perfect info intersection points, with apps leaking/exchanging otherwise unrelated information, always online and reliable and ready available geolocation and audiovideo hardware. Those "login here through your gmail/fb/twitter/etc account" mechanisms are cancer. Never do that, fight lazyness and login properly.
| Nothing you can really do to them, I would suggest locking down your accounts however. You also might want to see if your email has appeared in any data leaks, if you only use one password for all your accounts chances are that you are the victim of a data breach.

Correction. A very big one at that: OAuth authentication is *much* better than simply handling your own login. It won't share your password whatsoever and uses access token which is miles ahead than simply typing your own password; it is not laziness, it's a nice mix of security and convenience.
If the app doesn't use OAuth, however, then you *might* want to start having some safeguards in check.

| Someone has gotten into multiple of my accounts, and his/her IP address is 177.193.81.132. Is there any way I can mess with them?
