Are you sure that a person got into your account? It could also be facebook apps that you've authorized a long time ago which might have been legitimate at time, but are now malicious.
Ransomware is more about manipulating vulnerabilities in human psychology than the adversary’s technological sophistication.

Yes, you can get someone's real IP if they're behind a proxy. Javascript can be used to demask you. If you browsed a webpage with a malicious script in it, it can query your real info. No real defense against this other than blocking javascript entirely which will render a lot of websites useless.

As Magnetron said above, Javascript can giveaway a lot about you. Just search for plugins that work on your browser to prevent Javascript from running on the page. You should also disable WebRTC, which you can also find as a plugin. But I'm sure there are other ways to be a privacy freak that I'm not aware of too.

NoScript and Adblock Plus make naughty JS source go bye bye! 😀
Then don't let your browser authorize cookies from sites you've never actually visited. Then, in FireFox, open about:config and search for 'peer' and toggle 'peer sharing enabled' to not leak local network packets giving websites info on your LAN.
Just harden your installs, guys. JS ain't no thang but a chicken wang... That went wrong. Search your settings! You know that which I spake ist true
