When I made the purchase, it said the IP address was recorded and thats where they could go in the event of fraud. Is my info traceable or findable to anybody?

If you are saying that you used someone’s normal wifi home connection, not a hotspot like a starbucks or McDonald’s then i would say you are 99.9% safe.
they would need special software on their network to record network activity,
and most software will only record your ip and device and the ip (website) you connect to,
they would still need your username and password for the site and most of us don’t store are credit card info on the site,
if i give you my amazon usename and password, you would not be able to buy anything using my credit. yes you can put lots on items in my cart but when it comes time to check-out you would be buying with your credit card.
To be safe don’t do this any more, someone can setup an open wifi connection just to get personal info from users. – it’s not that hard to do, very little tech skills needed..

Most banks have a network inside there own network. It’s not the real network but it allows people to think that it is. Mean while your running around in there and they are watching you and tracking your ip address. If it where that easy to run a scrip and steal ids and bank numbers then they wouldn’t be on the net. As far as using it. Well they have your ip address now.

Yes. Everything you do on your pc is traceable. Even if you reformat the hard drive there is still information on it that can be retreived even though you think the hard drive has been erased. If you want to make sure 100% that the contents of the hard drive cannot be read, physically destroy the hard drive. ( Drillng holes through it, smashing it, etc.)
