IP address hacking

Two people pulled up my ip address and have booted me offline. I reported them but i want to make sure they are suspended for a long period of time.

FYI, this is called a DDOS attack. It's not a "Hack".

Be careful who you join parties with, they cannot find your IP on the console but if you join a party, they can load the party onto a PC using the xbox app and then they can use software on the PC to find your IP address. So if you make someone mad in
a game, do not accept a party invitation right away.

As long as you've filed a complaint via the console, the enforcement team will investigate the issue. Calling out other gamers is not allowed on the forums.

you can do it on a phone and it is possible to do that through the console, like i say finding someones ip is legal, but doing nafarious stuff with the ip is illegal and out of microsoft jurisdiction.
