Hello hackers of Reddit, I have a rental that is currently occupied by a tenant - a single mom and her son ( just started college last month so he is around 19 years old). The mom called me and said that police raided her home with a search warrant on early Wednesday morning and looked through everything especially the electronic devices.
At the end of the search nothing conclusive was found and it was later explained that the search was because of unusual IP activity detected in December of 2024. During 3 consecutive days, a large quantity of illegal content was downloaded with her IP during midnight between 1-3 am. The illegal content consisted of “visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor”. She told me this because my personal belongings at the house was also searched. The son was already off to college but he was still living in the house last December, of course all of his computers, phones, tablets are with him in his dorm. The mom said there is no way it was his son and blamed it on hackers.
My question: is it possible/reasonable for a hacker to use their residential IP to conduct such activity? Won’t they just use VPN or something and use an IP from a different country or something?
