They know where you live. (Well, vaguely, got me to within 20 miles)

There seems to be some confusion here I assumed the OP was referring to an actual address, not an ip address, pretty much all VM employees have access to that...

I have always thought People are a bit paranoid about ip addresses - people don't generally try to find ip addresses and then try to hack them - they will scan ranges of ip addresses looking for known vulnerabilities, unless you are an obvious target, like a bank, they are unlikely to target you because they found your ip address.
