IP addresses in attack logs,,,

Is this safe to be advertising peoples IP?
Does this not open the door to hackers and others threatening other members with viruses and such,,,

Please admin find a safe way to post the galactic logs,,,

Re: IP addresses in attack logs,,,

The IP shown is dynamic IP I think - meaning it resets each time you reset your router so you can't get hacked through it..I think..

Re: IP addresses in attack logs,,,

The numbers seem to be randomly generated numbers based on factor such as your ISP and your IP or something of that nature. the numbers themselves that say IP address in the attack logs are NOT in any way an actual IP address in the traditional sense.

Re: IP addresses in attack logs,,,

its probably like your game ID

Just random numbers which are used to identify your IP to the System

Re: IP addresses in attack logs,,,

As long as the number produced is ALWAYS exactly the same for each player for a particular exact IP, it serves the same purpose for the logs.
