So a friend of mine works for an internet service provider, They have their own wifi towers, and he gets his internet at his home through them. Now they have accused him of sending info to a competitor, via their contact us form, and their supposed proof is that the competitor has a copy of the IP address that was used to access the form.
It's a complete setup. He's never seen or heard of this company, and doesn't even have access to the supposed information. The guy has a disciplinary coming up, and I'm helping him craft his defense, but I need some information on the technical side of things.
The only information that they have provided is proof of his CURRENT ip address, (not the ip address of the night in question) and the letter from the company he allegedly contacted, with the matching ip address.
So if he didn't access the website, is it possible for the ISP or someone in the company to have set him up, by fiddling the ip addresses? Am I right in saying that just because that is his current Ip address, that doesn't mean that it was his address when the incident took place?
Any information would be appreciated.
