What is “doxxing”?

Doxxing is the word coined to describe the process of releasing of personally identifying information to the public without their consent.

This may include their real name, address, phone number, account names, passwords, even credit card details.
Doxxing is used to intimidate and frighten people by threatening their livehood and reputations - and at times their physical safety. Harassment and abuse, including rape and death threats are directed at the subject of the doxxing online at home and at work.

The effects of doxxing can be as seemingly mild as having of pizzas show up at a target’s house to as terrifying as having people show up outside their place of work, take photograph of them as they enter and leave their home, or attempt to engage or attack them.
