Can someone track your IP location address on Omegle.com?
Can someone track your IP location address on Omegle.com?
Yes, there are ways to do that. How to find someone's ip address on omegle? You can apply a packet sniffer like Wireshark and look for UDP- User Datagram Protocol. However, fancy naming doesn't matter. What is essential is in big cities, you could predict with approximately 20 Miles accuracy. In small towns and rural areas, accuracy is lower, like 70 Miles.
There are more methods, but it's not crucial for now.
What can some do with your IP location?
If you are not using the VPN, they will know your country for sure—rarely correct city.
Can some stranger locate your home address?
Home address is obviously not possible to track with IP address.
Can omegle track you?
Does Omegle track you? Can Omegle track your location? If you are not using VPN, then Omegle can trace your conversations and exact location, including your home address, with your internet provider. If you have done something illegal and there is legal action against you, your Internet Provider may be legally obligated to notify your exact address.
What about the city?
Will someone know your real city you are living in knowing IP?
It depends on your internet provider.
Type in Google: "What is my IP location," and you will see which place your internet provider is pointing to.
Most of the time, IP addresses will show different locations than you are truly located. If you are using a mobile network, it's almost sure to show the wrong city.
What to do if someone sends you your supposed IP address?
The first thing you should do is check if the IP address sent is authentic. To check it, let's type in Google "what is my IP" and then compare.
What if they know your city?
Let's assume the least possible scenario: you live in a small city, and the IP address was pointing correctly.
Usual blackmailing scenario?
If you have a regular conversation and someone sends you your IP address saying he will find you. In most cases, it's a stupid Omegle prank to scare people. Youtubers and Influencers do this. They record people's reactions to such jokes and post on Youtube, Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, and other social media. So, in this case, your response may be seen on some social media.
More dangerous situation?
Suppose you did something more stupid on the Omegle website. Something you don't want to share publicly with the rest of the world. Showing your ass, getting naked in front of the camera, or some deep confession about your sex life.
Doesn't matter. You don't want anyone to know!
If you live in a small city and the stranger knows what city, the thing may go wrong.
Suppose you got drunk and dance fully naked, and the stranger you talk to record the conversation video. He may post this video to social media (or link to the video) and write the country and city name. Such information may go viral very fast. In small towns, it's common for everyone to know each other. So you can imagine the rest of the story.
Fortunately, such content will not appear on Youtube or Tik Tok as it would be banned fast probably. Some can still post a link to a video with your face and the city's name and country.
If you see some humiliating info of yourself on Tik Tok, YouTube, or any other social media, administrators will block it after your notification. Then you need to report the situation to the police. Depends on o your country and the case, but there are already some solved criminal cases on Omegle. If someone was not preventive and the case was severe, the police may track him.
Key takeaways
Keep in mind on Omegle video chat, strangers can always record your talk.
If you really feel the need to do some crazy stuff, don't show your full face.
Before using Omegle, type in Google: "What is my IP address" and check if it's pointing to your authentic one.
Now let's analyze some real-world blackmail example from women asking for help on Reddit...
She got blackmailed after getting naked on Omegle camera chat.
A drunk girl showed her ass on Omegle and regretted it
I did something stupid on Omegle, and now I'm being blackmailed.
Last night I got drunk and got on Omegle just for fun. I got on and decided that it would be ok if I showed my ass tits and vagina. In the middle of this, someone says that they are recording this chat and that they have my IP address, and if I don't do what they want, they will hack into my computer. They said they have my Facebook name and password and my email addresses. They said they would post it to my Facebook and all of my contacts in my email. All I have done is change my IP address because that's all I really know how to do. They said that by the morning, they would have all of the information on my computer. Can they really hack into my laptop using just my IP address, or is this just a hoax? I really don't want to take any chances, so is there anything that I can do to stop it, or is it just something out of my hands?
https://www.reddit.com/r/hacking
First of all, it's very unwise to pose naked on the internet where everyone can record it. If anyone feels such a need, wear a mask, at least to make a face unrecognizable. However, I bet everyone did at least one stupid thing in his life while drunk so let's think about what can actually happen and how to prevent it.
First of all, it was probably a joke, and he didn't even record this.
They have an IP address
If they sent the IP address, let's type in Google "What is my IP" and compare it to two addresses.
They will hack into her computer
Is it possible? Can someone hack into another person's computer with an IP address? The answer is NO! Not only on the Omegle.com website. It's not possible to hack someone's computer with an IP address. Until you click some link and download a corrupted file from this person (that is possible only on text chat), he can't hack your computer. There are other ways too, but not with IP addresses.
If I don't do what they want, they will...
It's never a good idea to follow blackmailer orders as he can ask for more and more. Watch on Netflix Black Mirror episode "Shut up and dance." If you are underage and don't know what to do, ask your parents. If you are an adult, go to the police.
Post video to her Facebook and all her contacts
They said they have my Facebook name and password and my email addresses. Until she revealed it while being drunk. They cannot have it—so no need to worry.
But...
They still can post it to Facebook, and it will be there for a while until the moderators remove it. Depends on how much information she reveals about herself. If she said the country and what worst, the city or full name. Then who knows what the predator will do.
Is there something she can do to stop it?
Stopping is impossible but something we can do to minimize the possible damage:
Make a Facebook profile unpublic and other social media profiles for a while. This will make it more challenging to find the person with a name, city, and profile picture.
Change a profile picture to one without a face.
If possible, monitor social media about our name, but most don't use Brand24 for a personal brand.
So the best is to just don't care and assume it's a hoax.
