Edit: Adding this information here to satisfy anyone who may be curious about the comments claiming the information in this video is incorrect. I never want to misinform anybody. I know most of you come here for fart jokes or eating raw beans from a can, but still.... that's no free pass to misinform people.

Comment 1) "You cannot be hacked with only your IP address."
This statement is false. There are scenarios in which it is dangerous if a skilled "hacker" gets your IP address. For example, if you are running a Minecraft server on an outdated version of Windows, you could be vulnerable. In this scenario, all a skilled hacker would need is your IP address to potentially start accessing your system. Another scenario might be if you have an outdated/used router and just recently installed 10k~ malicious programs and intentionally disabled all of windows safety features... 😅 like I did the other day lol. Prob could have given more context as to what previously happened.

Comment 2) "What about CGNAT and dynamic IP addresses"
CGNAT is basically where your ISP will pool you with other houses/businesses and you'll have the same IP address. In this case, you cannot be hacked with only your IP address. It would be virtually impossible at that point. But if your internet is provided to your house via a wall jack in the US, you likely are given a specific IP address that is dynamic and will change occasionally. So once your IP address changes, you're safe. But, if you're being "hacked" using the method mentioned in comment 1, you'll never know you're being hacked. You will be vulnerable until your IP address changes, which sometimes takes months. & at that point, a good hacker will have likely created a new way to gain access to the system without needing your IP address.

Comment 3) "This 'Dark Web Hacker' is a script kiddie"
He's describing how easy it is for any uneducated kid to get on the dark web and start hacking. He's not describing his own process. That's my bad, I cut out too much of what he said. He spoke for hours, so I was trying to piece together the relevant parts. I'll be more carful with this type of editing.

Comment 4) "You don't need a VPN on the dark web"
It seems as though this is a debated topic. Some say a VPN creates another layer of security, some say it makes you less secure. In my case, a VPN might have added a much needed layer of security given I was clicking random links all across the dark web. In some cases, clicking a link in a web browser can run a malicious script. Now, could one of those scripts have grabbed my actual IP address? I'm not sure, that's why I paid a hacker to hack me.

Comment 5) "You can not hack someone by just sending an email to a person."
This statement is false. There are scenarios in which using a locally installed email program on an outdated system leaves you vulnerable by someone simply sending you the email and it loading within that program. It's extremely unlikely, but possible. You do not need to worry if you're using web based email.

Comment 6) "You cannot be geolocated with your IP address"
IP addresses do reveal your geolocation, but not your precise location like a home address does. That's pretty common knowledge. I think some viewers thought the video was implying that someone could know the exact coordinates of my left toe with my IP address.

I felt compelled to share these in depth answers in order to give some of my long time viewers and supporters the peace of mind that I'm not just going to give you a bunch of lies in a video. The scenario I'm in is incredibly unique. In 99.999999% of cases, you are not as vulnerable as this laptop is.
