    How to tell if IP address has been compromised?


    Received phone call this morning from "Microsoft" that my IP address was compromised by other's from different countries. Caller said I needed to change my IP address. Caller ID on phone was my first and last name and phone number. I have received e-mails from Romania and have deleted them. Windows Defense let's me know that the daily scans do not show any threats.


    Confirmation from Microsoft that this is a scam would be appreciated.

    :)

    IP address compromised?

    Repeated calls telling me that my IP address has been compromised and I need to call the number given. I believe this to be a scam. is it, or is it valid?

    Hi Richard,

    sure it is a scam. IP address cannot be compromised (as your street address cannot) only device may be compromised.
