Yes it is possible but EXTREMELY unlikely. Im talking high level government and hours of data harvesting. Someone would have to have plenty of resources and time to swim back up into your personal data. I wouldn't worry about it....unless you're Osama Bin Laden.
EDIt----- i forgot to add this, there are programs that you can download for free to alter your ip, mine currently says im in taiwan, i think. Look for one on nonags.com, they have a variety.

Has ACTA already been fully implemented in the USA? If so, I didn't notice any big changes...what's the reason to protest now?

You might add that altering y'r IP address may stop other programs from getting in... example... to update y'r anti virus program.. n so on

This is true, i have had trouble infiltrating some websites that relied on a regional IP address but it has not inconvienienced my progress to the point where i cannot go any further.

what are the "PLENTY OF RESOURCES" that we need to track down the IP addr?

A powerful computer mainframe and the talent to use it.

unless of course you happen to work for an ISP, then you can just look it up in your database.

Aha! Indeed.

kelson you just made me want to work for my ISP...lol

Bam - what do I search for on nonags.com? I tried searching for just 'IP' and came up with viewers, etc. but no progs that change the visible address.
by geek860 on April 2nd, 2007
Try this, http://www.hide-real-ip.com/
I can't find the author of my own ip changer but this should do the trick.

I was looking for freeware...lol Any links for that?
by geek860 on April 2nd, 2007
Sorry, they appear to have purged all their freeware IP hiders. I'll keep an eye out though. Good luck.
by BAM@Cyberscrewed.tk on April 3rd, 2007
What you said is true but if ip is not altered CIA and other high tech police agencies can easily find that kind of information out. and God forbid someone is doing an inside job.
by annabanana on August 23rd, 2007
Of course.

what if it was not a gov't agent...just someone you sent an e-mail to (w/ a fake name) and now you thought they might want to harm you?
