IP Grab???

Greetings Null Byters,

It has come to my attention that someone may grab your IP address from chat sites.. Here's what was said:

While chatting with someone via Facebook,Whatsapp (PC),Skype,etc. or any other social media site, a person can close all other tabs and use netstat to gain your IP address!..Confirm this in your lab and see for yourself...Any protection from this? Testing this i will be...
