Chances are they were given a dirty link to an IP grabber site and didn't know better.

If all players got their IP addresses leaked, that clearly points to the server being the weak point

There's not a whole lot you can do solely with IPs anyways
bitter cargo
Well you can commit a crime with it

Especially if the user has a dynamic IP address from their ISP

There's really only two things that can happen with an IP address
1: DDOS
2: Port scan, which could lead to an actual hack; but unless the player's network admin is port forwarding with a commonly known port for a commonly known exploitable program that's much less likely to do anything. This also looks like a DDOS, and your ISP is likely to notice and will deal with it
Chances are, however, that the person doing the DDOS is just a script kiddie using LOIC to DDOS the server then try to extort further with false threats, they do not have the IP addresses.
Just scare tactics

Oh

If you're worried about your IP being used at all, I do recommend looking at getting set up with a VPN.
