So. This is going to sound really stupid, but bare with me. I'm a little freaked out.
I put my KIK name on a social media site called tumblr. Lot of people do it. It's whatever.
I received a message from a user, talked a bit, and then he told me that if I don't become some "sex slave" for him, he will give my account name to some hackers who will obtain my IP address.
First of all, I didn't even know what an IP address really was, until looking it up and such. Since I haven't received anything truly great through the KIK messenger, I decided to reset my kik, delete it from my phone, and now I'm waiting for an email telling me that I have unread messages, and that I can finally deactivate my kik. I heard that this can take several days, however.
My questions are
1. Can someone really hack my phone through KIK?
2. Can they obtain my IP address through KIK?
Your help is much appreciated.
