Your ip address is not fixed bro. It changes. If you are talking about the Ip address attached to your network provider, the person would have to know you phone number and then contact your network provider.

Not necessarily

I m happy with alot of sound minds on this thread I opened

Cheers to colleagues in the house like Basher8583 & MetaPhysical

Maybe we should talk about having a dedicated cyber security thread on this forum especially with the how advanced cyber crime is now

To my earlier comment there is actually a used code one can send offering any service once you open I can get all your info without you replying

The rabbit hole goes very far my friend Nigerians just don't know what's going one ...

Unfortunately only these criminals fraudsters are making strides


They travel to China and Taiwan to get high level decrypters and spoofers

Gentle men are you aware there is an illegal network run in Lagos , Abuja , Bayelsa and Kano here in Nigeria ?

There's guys have hacked into MTN and Globacom masts and broadcast their uw network hence running simcards , doing wire transfers and aiding Terrorists and corrupt politicians move funds around?

Anyways the FBI and.interpol are on it , a young man who helps with running this was picked up in nyanyan in Abuja last week.

Basically the network infrastructure is placed around the city in some people's apartments and they fit a generator an inverter and a laptop for the admin to ensure the network stays up

They have their own network , not mtn, not glo not Airtel or 9mobile

They use this network to do all their correspondence

Cheers

How The Security System Tracks Criminals:

1) Get the phone number from Facebook Google Twitter etc.

2) Go to the local network company to get the owner of the number.



How Criminals Bypass Security Check:

1) Use a dead man's number to create fake social media accounts and a new phone filled with false information or better still a stolen phone to lead the security team to a wrong person



The only people that can reveal the real phone numbers of their users are google Facebook Twitter etc

livebyday stop hyping your skills because every system has a loophole

datasthmagirl metaphysical Basher8583 don't be deceived that every criminal can be tracked.

Again I say , freedom of expression allows us to all agree or disagree

If you feel you are an expert at being anonymous well good for you but let me say this, if I identify as a butterfly and I believe strongly I am a butterfly and even change my name.to butterfly, does it make me a butterfly ?? no it doesn't !!!
No matter how much I believe I am

Think on that my friend...

You are only anonymous till someone wants an individual with the skills to find you.

trust me all your points listed above in earlier comments are valid to stay anonymous in your world, but not in mine.

Cheers

Basher8583:
You still have alot to learn.
Below is a screenshot of the packets captured by google alone while viewing Nairaland.
Dont let me start with GooGLE...... That one alone is a spy machine for the US.
If you think accesing location status is all google does you are on your own.
So I still say to you... If this is your field then there is more for you to learn. Get busy

My only advice is: for you to be better secured browse less from your mobile phones be it android or apple.

You still have some level of control on you pc if you know what to do

don't bother enlightening those who argue my friend , save the energy


Cheers

scribble:
I have a special set of skills too buddy

If you want it why not ask for it?




Cheers

scribble:
Stop screaming bloody murder and stop low key accusing people of fraud if u dont want them to clap back

Swerve abeg. Stop calling the power rangers for back up

Done?

Cheers

For those who are running scared on this thread above accusing me.of scare mongering , stop.fretting no one is looking for you yet

Now to others who still don't.understand

1. Every vpn service can produce the information you used to.register , and they have your real location
There are ways we can get it from them

2. Even where you use virtual numbers to.register or burn dump numbers , your IP is very available when.runming a reverse trace and comparing your vpn truenet location

3. Like a member said above rightly without internet being enabled on the phones or the Sim being registered a simple e911 ping would reveal location within 30 yards of the base station closest . So all these stories you hear about kidnapping, I can boldly tell you that 90% of them involve either corrupt police officers or family and police officers... Hence why the VP said what he did

4. With the new mapping done with Uber in Nigeria , and now the Uber motocycles helping to further map deeper streets in every state there is not a single place to hide

5. Please please please. Save yourself a world of pain , stop posting anyhow online , you can reserve that speech within your house or in your close circle of friends


All the best

ManTiger:
You're very very correct, I came across the attached on Twitter this morning, I showed it to a friend and we laugh and grin.

Cheers sir

datasthmagirl:
Even FBI (on Invictus Obi's case) had to subpoena Google in order to gain access to account that received fraudulent email from a hacked corporate account.

Digital footprints are real. But tracing it is not magical art. Stop making it appear like one.

The most intelligent comment here

You answered the question that lad above in the earlier page was shouting about

Even with vpn that claim to be log free , a simple subpoena to the company will release the phone number , and emails you used to register on the VPN service simple .

I wasn't trying to make it hard my dear just didn't want to engage in unecessary explanations

You are quite perceptive

NGRsenate:
Omo simple question and everybody forming keyboard warrior cannot answer.

You keep going back to me signing in on my personal device, which is not in the scenario I painted somewhere up there. Can you see that for you to trace me, i have to eventually use whatever fake profile i must have created somewhere else on my real and personal device?

You didn't answer my question

NGRsenate:
For instance; you buy a new internet enabled phone that does NOT have camera(s). Buy a new sim card that’s NOT registered (let’s say before the era of sim reg, I don’t want to use the era of sim reg so that I don’t give people new ideas). You bought this all cash.

Now on this phone, you will never login to your personal fb, email account, other social media accounts, bank accounts etc.

Create a new email address, sign up to a bunch of sites, write a bunch of posts and then throw the phone with the sim in the lagoon.

Now on your personal phone, apply for a job with your personal email, phone number, bla bla and NOT with the email or phone number in the phone you just threw away.

Now write a short note on how op can connect you with the posts you made with the phone you threw away in the process of vetting you for a new job.

Here's the thing , let's be realistic

You created a new email.address to sign up on social media right ? But tossed the phone (this is irrelevant)

You surely want me to trace you because it means you will access these social media platforms from devices you use personally

I am sure you know due to the recent global clear net standards.second verification on new devices signing into an.existimg account is a must? Why do you think that is?

If you are signing up from a new device you will be required to verify on the new device hence leaving my digital footprints for someone less skilled to trace you with

The smart thing would be to have kept the device .
..I won't say more in other for certain individuals not to learn

Now if your aim was to create a social media account and abandon then that served no purpose... Criminals don't think this way that's why they are easy to catch if one really wants to catch them

Outline a proper scenario and I will indulge you

I have traced even mods like Mynd44 to their personal accounts , blogs, school forum groups

helinues:
Messages to those who take things to personal..

Your comments online is a bit of your lifestyle

He's trying to scare people into being more compliant with their speech

The guy may be somebody from aso rock or just a snowflake that gets easily triggered

Personally I believe in freedom of speech but one should be careful when they talk, but one should also not withhold his passion because of fear,

Whether its fear of any embassy approving or denying visa based on beliefs you hold dear

Or any employer withholding a position because of your beliefs and opinions

Or fear of jobless blackmailers

That being said we should also respect th le human rights and human decency of others before we post

Our democracy needs freedom of speech and forums where people can gather and share their thoughts without fear of oppression

Everybody is entitled to his or her opinion!

Is that how you feel?

Remember I didn't enforce anything I simply shared useful information

Ignore at your own peril young man

Cheers

NGRsenate:
You had his account details, that’s how you were able to trace him

No that's not it

To the gentleman above who feels this is a stretch

9 years ago on this forum when.this prediction in soccer betting thing was new

Someone advertised just put a number I asked him to be certain it wasn't a scam he said it wasn't

Long story short he scammed me and blocked me on Whatsapp

Mind you this number wasn't a registered number

I traced him, found his four Facebook accounts, I found his wife's Facebook , his wife's mobile number and the church where they wedded, I sent him his wedding photos too.

None of this information was ever on nairaland, in his seven nairaland accounts he claimed he stays in Lagos , I traced him to jos in ,4 hours

His real name and his location in Jo's and sent all to his other number on WhatsApp he never posted on nairaland
He repaid me in full and interest begging not to be persecuted
I am.sure he is here and maybe reading this

This was 9 years ago

Don't be deceived, there is nothing like online anonymity, it's a myth In today's world. Any Yahoo boys that hasn't been arrested either hasn't stolen a serious amount of funds to justify being traced, or follows SAP protocols
Cheers

NGRsenate:
You can only run a trace if i use my real name or the email address I used in applying for the job or phone number to open a profile on NL or anywhere else.

So stop being over confident sir.

Can anyone confirm if you can still be found on nl after deactivating your account?

Is that so?

Alright

maasoap:
You need a job, I might be of help. So, drop that line. People like you don't vote but you are ready to condemn the process 100%

It's unfortunate that this is how you took the discussion.

This exemplifies my.worry for the Nigerian youth. Alot of you lack the mental discipline to hold a discussion.

I was at a conference recently where top HR managers and directors in marque brands where complaining that the quality of graduates now are largely unemployable

And you just showed it

You toss insults freely without due recursion

Cheers.. never contact me again

Hello all ,

Looking at the recent arrest of high profile Yahoo boys Obiwanne there have been alot of conspiracy theorist about how his nairaland account played into this and I want to help.seperate facts from fiction.

Before I go further let me drop a bit of a clue into why I am doing this. I know someone who helps with digital forensic profiling or individuals, for NGOs, Embassies, law enforcement and such

For instance a recuritment firm hiring for an international NGO like Oxfam might want to vet the final list of candidates and this recruiting firm will send such a list to.him to screen out the red flags like , Religious hate, tribal hate, anti-Semitism , Homophobia etc..

Sometimes embassies who receive asylum applications from individuals claiming to be gay or whatnot send such lists to certain firms who engage my services to vet..

This individual traces digital foot prints and profile you... Even if it's one of your numerous Facebook, Nairaland, or Myspace account where you commented on how you hate bobrisky or how you wish gays are killed or how you wish , yorubas are wiped out by fulani herdsmen or how you believe ibos are pigs or how you think hausa fulani are all evil ... depending on what your applied for or the information the company is looking for
It will all show in your report ...

Sometimes companies request for certain information, like how this candidate leans in regards to violence against women.. so if you have ever made a post with one of your nairaland accounts in the romance section saying how some women deserve to be slapped or beaten well it will be found

I know you are wondering how possible this is when you may have even closed these accounts hence they read as nobody or deleted the posts on Facebook or opened over 200 accounts so you think surely it can't be traced ?

It can and it is very easy to do if you know how.. I won't go into details because that way you will know how to be totally anonymous hence making the person's work.harder so no.

But just know that you should keep track of people who follow you on this platform

Some of you whom I follow know why I do that.

My point is , all these TRIBALISM and Religious hate posts you make will only work against you in the ever competitive Nigerian employment market

As at last week Sage announced to their staff they are leaving Nigeria, so you have more professionals coming to join the unemployment market .

Alot of you who are in school posting tribal hate thinking for now you don't need a job just an internship well... Don't get discouraged when you don't get called up or retained afterwards

My advise start censoring yourself or live with the consequences.cheers

maasoap:
People's votes count. Come to my units or ward to rig and let's see if you will live to tell the story. And it is like that in many polling units. Are you even aware of the fact that electorates now guard their votes these days? They vote and stay behind to watch and guard their votes until the counting and recording is done. When was the last time you visited a polling unit to cast your vote?

Again you use the experience in your unit which is less that 0.001% of the over all to come to the flawed conclusion that votes count ? Seriously?

Well if the votes count in 0.001% of polling units and in the other 99.999% it's the usual vote rigging and buying that has become the norm in Nigeria how then does an enlightened individual bolding declear that votes count in Nigerian elections?

Isn't that a clear joke or rather comic relief at best?

Again let's be objective and logical in our comments

Let the case of that young man who was arrested via posts he made on nairaland be a lesson

You don't know who comes to evaluate your thought processes before employing you or doing business with you

I have cautioned the youths numerous times.. if you know how easy it is to find people via their nairaland posts is you would exercise caution when commenting

I have helped companies profile people several times via social media

Think before commenting , be cautioned on what you comment

Numerous accounts is irrelevant

maasoap:
Those who beat him in far away Germany, were they the ones who voted for him? Those who voted for him, did they organise themselves to beat him in far away Germany? Election in Nigeria might not be perfectly free and fair, but where Ekweremadu comes from, they worship PDP and any slowpoke who contested on the platform of PDP there would win free and fair.
BTW: I'm not e-politician

Again this is conjecture

Fact I stated is waiting for you to counter
Are there any single elections in Nigeria that are free and fair ?

Is it not a fact that all elections in Nigeria are won by the politicians who out rig their competition with looted funds?

Chimookigwe:
Despite that, Ipobs still use their parents for rituals to get money to come hawk gala in that same Lagos.

Keep shouting Lagos while your flatheaded brothers fill up foreign prisons.

You guys are a plague and a curse to wherever you are found be it Indonesia, South Africa, India, Togo, Malaysia, Lagos, China, Indonesia, etc..

You go to and fro the world like the devil, causing problems for Nigerians and spoiling opportunities for legitimate Nigerians.

Them swear for una?

Your post is ignorant and tribalistic

Every single tribe commits crimes for your information I have a USA passport and an apartment in the states I can tell you Yoruba are more into internet fraud in the most countries abroad , ibo are into drug pushing , my people into human trafficking and prostitution

I will ensure your account is banned so next time you think properly about spreading your tribal hate on this forum
