Doxing (or doxxing) is a dangerous form of intimidation involving the publication of someone’s personal information such as their private email, personal phone number, home address, family address, etc. on various platforms in an attempt to frighten the individual and encourage additional harassment by others. Even if an individual’s personal information is not posted, sharing certain information without permission about an individual may still be a form of online targeting because of the implicit encouragement that others criticize or harass the person being targeted.
Please see the Columbia University doxxing support webpage for information on how to respond to doxxing.
