Following are some of the consequences:
1. A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack could be used against you if a hacker obtains your IP address.
2. In real life, someone can track your location and invade your privacy.
3. Fraudsters may use you as a scapegoat for unethical conduct.

Companies can also observe and monitor what you do online, providing you with very little privacy.
