    Let's talk about what's happened here: Burnish sent some people links that log ip addresses. When your browser requests a resource from a website your IP address is part of the info exchanged. If you generate a unique link and distribute it to one person you can be reasonably sure that the first request made to that URL was the person who you sent the link to. It's important to note that images are also independent requests, amusingly Burnish sent urls but this kind of "attack" is usually conducted using embedded images so if you leave image embedding this can be done without you needing to click a link, simply loading a PM will induce your browser to make a request and your IP address could be logged.

    So what does it mean if some cunt on the internet has your IP address? Ultimately very little. ISPs own large blocks of IP addresses and assign them out to their subscribers (you) as needed, generally speaking your IP address will change periodically. Which block belongs to which ISP and region is public information, you can place a person in a state or major metropolitan area with their IP. This is the start and end of what some nigger trawling on here can do. Now if you're LEO, you have an ip address, a timestamp for when a request was made, and a warrant you can identify a subscriber whose connection was used to make a request. Note that if you have a warrant you don't go to shady internet doxer dude to get an IP, you go to my host and pull the data from my logs if you really want, so Burnish having your address on file does nothing to change the "cops are looking for me" scenario.

    Moral of the story: you might want to disable images, don't click shady links, your IP address isn't really a secret.
