SH,
Unless you are on a cable modem or DSL line I wouldn't worry too much about the IP thing. If you really want to be secretive sign up for a free account somewhere, provide false contact information, then login here at IHUB, proceed to delete unwanted graphic, log off IHUB, log off free account, cancel free account, return to your normal modus operandi.
Hacking is like stealing cars, if the bad guys wants it he's got it. If he is good enough.
