“So it detected the second IP address trying to access my account along with my current IP address as soon as I landed on youTube.”
What are the first 16 bits of the “second IP address”? Are they always the same?

I have no way to check that without going through thousands of server hit logs. I didn’t think to do that right away like I should have. Our site security tool doesn’t give me this information off hand. It just detects and protects automatically by kicking us out when it sees a new IP address highjacking an account. Or... if someones dynamic IP changes during a session. But my own IP address did not change, it remained the same. That was the first thing I checked.
Are you familiar with a particular problem address? I could ban an address if it is consistent and the same like that... That would help protect the site, but it wouldn’t help the the user’s browser hole much?
