What’s in an IP
IP in this case being internet protocol. When someone visits a website, the web server typically tracks what page they access and where they are accessing from, or their IP address. It is pretty easy to look up an IP address in the global database and see what organization it is assigned to. Which is where it gets interesting when the IP address is from Chase, on a Chase-sucks blog like chasehomefinancesucks.com. Here are the details from Chase’s recent visit to that site:
16th June 2010 09:46:44
21 hours 24 mins 8 secs
IE 6.0
WinXP
unknown United States Returning Visits:
Location:
New York, United States
Jpmorgan Chase & Co. (159.53.110.140) [Label IP Address]
chasehomefinancesucks.com/my-story/
chasehomefinancesucks.com/tag/modification-efforts/
So someone at Chase apparently spent quite some time browsing that site. What kills me though is that they are accessing with Internet Explorer version 6, which Microsoft recently announced they are no longer supporting. Just for the record, Microsoft currently distributes version 8, and is soon to come out with version 9.

Thank you for your support. My wife loves your writing. I hope one day that we can all win against Chase.
Running XP and no service packs is pretty embarrassing for any company but Chase, because they suck.
