If somebody learns that such-and-such DynDNS URL is mine, they can always do a DNS lookup to find my current IP address. They can:

- find my approximate physical location

- regularly scan ports on my IP and wait for me to accidentally expose a service I didn't mean to

- track me in any access logs they have access to

They can, and do, do this with or without DynDNS.
