Hacking IP Adress ?

I need a bit of help here my forum was hacked and I now have traced the IP address to another forum member. Is it possible for his IP address to have been used by someone else (hijacked) to hack my site. I know that IP are not all always fixed and are shared. however what are the chances of him having this IP 90% of the time.

Re: Hacking IP Adress

well you could always try to get information from the IP who/where they gave it out at the time that you believe it was hacked.

IP's can be spoofed remember but it's difficult to know whether that is the case or not.

Re: Hacking IP Adress

If the IP was spoofed what are the chances of it belonging to a member that we know on another forum it just seems to be rather a huge coincidence to me
