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

The people answering this post saying it means nothing are clueless. Here is the real truth, and the real risk:
If I have your IP address, I can begin penetration testing against your IP (which is the external IP address of your Firewall/Internet Router). If I find a way past your Firewall/Router, and inside your network, then I can begin working to break into your computer directly. Once I am inside your Computer directly, I can completely destroy your life with ease. It’s trivial to load child porn images into a folder on your computer, and then drop anonymous tips to various law enforcement agencies. If that happens, you are in a world of shit. 99% of the people on this planet have no clue how to break into a Router or firewall, so in all likelihood, you are ok. But if you are unlucky, and you piss off that 1 guy who does know how to break in, and you catch him in a bad mood, it may not end well for you. My advice is to NOT engage with trolls on internet, and always make sure your router has the latest firmware, and is NOT using the default username and password.
