Asking this because someone who has a beef on me told me that he knew my ip and where I message from.
I’m super ignorant in computer stuff, along with being paranoic about someone messing my computer/Phone up.
What is the worst harm which they can do to my laptop and/or personal information
Thanks for reading

There’s not really anything they can do with the IP on it’s own. It’s part of a large network of other users, that all connect to a similar area, and having it alone, is as useful as those “hot singles in your area” ads can do, which I’m sure you’ve noticed, are not actually very accurate. It may be worth making sure your router (if it’s one you have access to), has appropriate security settings though.
If you’re worried about this person, you’ll want to be careful of more social hacking techniques though. He has a single cog, and depending on how/where the beef came from, they’re likely to have others, but it takes a lot of targeted hacking techniques to actually get anything useful from someone.
Be careful, apply general concepts to things you do online, don’t leave yourself vulnerable through clicking unknown links/downloading weird stuff, and all the general safety stuff for online privacy.
