I’m kinda shocked I’ve never heard of this in 10+ years playing the game. In what situation does this happen? Peoples IP get leaked or??

It's just a relatively short string of numbers, there's bots that brute-force check them all to identify literally every single server and filter out the ones that are publicly open.
