How old are you? Ask your parents for help, and also maybe the police.

Then they didn’t get your ip. To make sure ask them for you ip and if you have a apple product like a phone or tablet connected to your WiFi go to the WiFi settings hit the blue glowing i button then scroll down and you’ll see your IP address. Then you’ll know if he actually has it or not.
Also btw if you want me to I can make a ip grabber and send it to them so you can have their ip.

Hey, don’t worry, there’s a good chance that whoever is threatening you is a teenager, with no life and is bored like the rest of us. If you need, PM me and I can help.
Also, if they actually do pull your IP, which is possible, please alert a mod ASAP, just know that you will be fine.

Or I could just get my ip grabber ready and my friend and we can track this dude down

Unless they explicitly threatened to harm someone, I doubt retaliating in that way would be the answer.

Well we can give the address to the police and let them handle it

The police could find that themselves, although if it gets worse, I’m not sure.
RE: I need security help. - DeceasedCrab - Mar. 02, 2021
If someone threatens you over WBO PM, immediately forward it to active WBO staff so that person can be found, banned, and dealt with.
If it happened over Discord through a WBO server, do the same.
If it happened outside of WBO, well, that slightly limits what can be done.

Or you can just get the dudes ip and let the police handle it. I’ve done this a bunch before
RE: I need security help. - Pixi - Mar. 02, 2021
ah carp. hope you are ok tho @TheGolden Blade
RE: I need security help. - Ryuga's Son - Mar. 02, 2021
TheGolden Blade Just some advice here. You can use these stuff so the hacker/threatener doesn't get any of your information
1. Use incognito (incognito is private browsing)
2. Use a vpn (Virtual Private Network)
For incognito, I'm too lazy to tell you what to do, just search up how to go incognito in "XXXX
replace XXXX with your type of chromebook and brand.
For Vpn: Go into chrome web store, search up Fastest Vpns, then add extension.
RE: I need security help. - TheGolden Blade - Mar. 02, 2021
The problem has been solved, I have the police involved. And the WBO user got banned so I think I'm fine. Thank you all!

Dang it I was gonna get this mans ip and boot him
RE: I need security help. - ~Mana~ - Mar. 02, 2021
Let's not go threatening to "get this mans IP", haha. No need to stoop to that level when we've already established that that isn't acceptable at all.
TheGolden Blade - Can you make sure you let me know which user this was, and forward any offending PMs if you're comfortable doing so? I don't think you contacted any of the moderation team (that I know of) so, if the offending user received a ban, it wouldn't have been for that reason. Just want to make sure we escalate the ban on their account to ensure they never come back, haha.
Otherwise, closing this thread now. Thank you to those who provided quick and sensible advice!
