IP address
An IP address is a device's network address; in Europe and Turkey it is usually personal data.
In anonymous attacks
Platforms share attackers' IP logs only with authorities, who can then ask the internet provider for subscriber details.
Caveat
Shared networks, VPNs and mobile carriers mean an IP alone rarely identifies a person.
Frequently asked questions
Can an IP reveal a home address?
Only a rough location; exact subscriber data needs the provider and legal process.
