Doxxing is the act of publicly revealing private or personal information about an individual without their consent. This information can include details such as their real name, address, phone number, or workplace. Doxxing is often done online, typically to intimidate, harass, or retaliate against someone. The term originated from the word "documents," as it involves gathering and sharing documents that contain sensitive information. Doxxing can have serious consequences for the victim, including harassment, threats, and even physical harm. It is considered a violation of privacy and is often condemned by online communities and legal authorities.
