All About Doxing 2022
⭕🔱🇰🇦🇱🇮™🔱⭕
Doxing often involves hackers attempting to embarrass or shame individuals by publishing confidential information, images or videos obtained from their personal accounts. Initially, doxxing was used by hackers to "out" the identities of fellow bad actors/hackers. However, more recently, it has been used to attack users with opposing viewpoints.
In a doxing attack, hackers might publish someone's:
👀Real name
👀Telephone number
👀Social Security number
👀Home address
👀Employer
👀Credit card numbers
👀Bank account numbers
👀Personal photographs
👀Social media profiles

Examples of Doxing
1. Celebrity Doxxing
It’s not uncommon for journalists to find out a celebrity’s personal life information and to publish such gossip on their media platforms. However, doxxing isn’t your regular entertainment news. Here, the hacker publishes the celebrity’s sensitive information such as their payment card info, email address, social security number or phone numbers.
2. Faulty Doxxing
Sometimes, doxxing is done by internet vigilantes who can’t be bothered to properly research or investigate their victims to ensure they have the right person. Instead, they wrongly link people to activities or situations that are unrelated to them. Due to such “faulty” doxing, hence the name, innocent people face:
- reputation loss,
- employment loss,
- harassment,
- physical harm, or
- loss of life.
3. Revenge Doxxing
Sometimes, people use doxing as a means of taking revenge. They publish their enemy’s some publicly identifying information online to cause them shame.
4. Swatting Doxxing
Another method of doxing is known as “swatting.” This occurs when a person wrongly accuses someone of a crime and sends police (or a SWAT team, hence “swatting”) to the victim’s address to cause them harassment. However, often such doxxing can prove fatal for the victim.
5. Crime Doxxing
While the swatting is done for fun, there are some people that use doxxing to execute serious crimes like murder. They reveal their enemies’ personal information online and provoke others to harm them. The motive can be personal revenge or showing disagreement or hatred towards any specific cause, religion, activity or race.
