I just clicked on a link to a thread by BYSD "Anyone having trouble accessing the forum" or something like that and it I think my IP was exposed. A bunch of information about my computer showed up on an error screen? Anyone else get this? Shit what to do now?

Hi Alittleworried,
Exactly what information about your computer showed up on an error screen?

The name of my personal folder showed up at least, I clicked it shut as soon as it showed up! Please let me know if I should clean house or expect a visit soon if thats enough info. Seems like I just got exposed to me. Im not much a of a tech person though :/

I can't tell you what it may have been unless I have more information about the error message. As far as cleaning house, etc., there's no need for that. I'm 99.99% sure that what you saw was benign, but if you can provide more info I can determine it with certainty.

Because I closed it shut so quickly I cant say what else was there, I freaked when I saw my personal folder and just closed it. I think its fishy sorry I cant provide more details Libertas.

I'm pretty sure it was just an error with torbrowser and the message included torbrowser's path.. I don't think the name of one of your folder would be transmitted over tor anyway.
