Ouch. That'd be a very Kafkaesque situation to be in. You know you didn't do anything, but they claim to have your IP in the offending logs. Luckily, it sorted itself out.

This is really scary. With the little the police knows about IT, there's no way you could prove yourself innocent... even in the case of an accident like this.

I don't even want to think about cases where hackers would plant an IP address in the logs on purpose to get someone into jail.
