Hello! I'm a streamer facing DOS/DDoS issues from people using my Skype name. I learned Skype is now available in a browser version. Can they still access my IP if I use the browser?

They definitely can't retrieve your IP address through Skype. Consider running a malware scan.

They can retrieve the IP address using standard Skype features.

The issue should have been fixed a long time ago. Unless he's part of a group misusing admin privileges.

It's simple to retrieve IP addresses using Skype, which makes me question whether the browser extension will be identical.

It's very straightforward to find someone's IP address using Skype if you're familiar with the process. Simply accept a chat message from them.

Even less, you can achieve this by simply employing a Skype resolver so the target remains unaware.
