Doxxed means when someone’s personal and private information is exposed or made public online without their consent. This includes details like name, address, phone number, email, or other sensitive data. The term is often used to describe a situation where a person’s identity is revealed by someone else on the internet, which can lead to harassment, stalking, or privacy invasion.
Examples:
1. Alice was playing an online game when she got into an argument with another player. In retaliation, the player threatened to doxx her and within minutes, posted her real name, address, and workplace on a public forum. This led to an invasion of Alice’s privacy and she became a target of harassment.
2. Bob was part of a heated internet debate on a social media platform. As the argument escalated, someone on the opposing side decided to doxx him. Within hours, Bob’s personal phone number and email address were shared on various online platforms, resulting in a flood of spam calls and messages.
