I recently learned people hate TeamSpeak as it could get you subjected to cyberattacks if the server owner is malicious as they have your IP address.
Having your IP address revealed isn't really much of a risk if your router is up to date.
That is insanely not true for several reasons that never occurred to the people who designed the internet when it was just for 110+ IQ white people.
Explain.
What reasons are those?
I would say it's more of a privacy issue than a hacking concern. I don't want my country, region, internet provider to be publicly displayed.
Doesn't IRC have the same problem? Anyone know if they made workarounds for that?
Depends on how the network has their servers configured. Many networks mask host names & ip addresses. Some don't. EFnet does not, and I haven't had problems in 15 years or more.
