I know this seems like a vague question, but let's say all that someone knows about you is your presence on a forum or chat site like this one.
You don't accept any emails from them or files of any kind you're just on the same forum/chat site as them.
To what lengths could someone stalk you, find out where you work, your car details and so on?
There's a high possability I'm being stalked, not from this forum though. But that's why I'm asking. It's involving women and their crazy ex boyfriends.
A deranged ex-boyfriend is extremely unlikely to be able to do anything but search Google for your ID and see what pops up, and then hit it with a rock. He's much more likely to barge into her house for make-up sex, then go through all her messages and e-mails while she's sleeping, than he is to properly hack her computer, collect your IP number and other personal info, and follow up. So unless you've shared real-life info with her, then 99.9% chance you have nothing to worry about.
If he had that ability, I would assume she'd have said, "My bf is a super-genius evil computer hacker!" Has she said that?
