  • Doxxing is the practice of thorough online research and publishing of private and personally identifiable information about particular persons or organizations. People use doxxing mostly for malicious purposes. Even though, in some cases, it can be used for good means, it is still quite a controversial method. For example, someone can employ it to invade your privacy and intimidate you, but it can also be used for risk evaluation or law enforcement purposes.

    We usually feed doxxers by uploading tons of personal information online, especially on social media channels, which they can thoroughly analyze. Cybercriminals know this and can use even the smallest misstep against you.
    Doxxers often employ search engines to obtain information, but more advanced snoopers may use social engineering or hacking techniques, such as packet sniffing or IP logging.

    That's actually false. Doxing IS NOT illegal, morally questionable at times sure. Its just obtaining publicly accessible info and posting it on a forum or pastebin website. You can get sued for it if the person you doxed knows your responsible. But unless you gained information illegally via hacking somebody's computer. THEN YES you can go to jail for that

    Just like Bullies in school. But at a different level. Should be illegal every where.

      My property manager been trying to kill me. Does that count? It should count, it has been an unbearable, nearly fatal 8 months for me. Idk which part is more unbelievable- the fact that someone has been intentionally inflicting harm on me or the fact that the police in that small city have actually taken the position that...”well it’s a landlord tenant issue so you’ll have to take it up in civil court.”
      Does anyone understand this? If so, please enlighten me because I’m suffering. I’m not the type of person to cry wolf, I’ve handled a few ass whoopins in my life. Lol seriously I had both arms broken by a real true stalker- that’s not even a big deal to me- that whole experience was a sweet lil stroll in the park compared to this. I dunno but maybe that’s bc I never gave a copy of my door key to a stalker with an expectation of being able to trust them. Most people can trust a property manager with a key to get into their rental property without having to worry abt that pos manager giving that key to some criminal.
      I can take a lot of crap from people I’ve proven that alright.
      But I am not going to idly sit by and allow this to go ...unaddressed. For 8 months some sociopathic cunt named #SarahJones
      was intending to inflict bodily harm on me.
      This is absolutely insane. After being in that town for 26 years, a staple in that community, I said to hell with this but it ain’t over yet.
      I’m livid. That butch is going to pay. She put my child in danger too. She’s been lucky to this point. I guess
      everybody is so wrapped up in this virus bullshit that its minimized someone conducting themselves criminally against me. And my child too perhaps.
      I got one foot in the grave and one on a banana peel as a result of Sarah Jones. i might not have much to lose at this point but what little I have is worth a helluva lot more than her fat worthless ass.

    This is not so much about doxxing i think, but still a relevant question. I use Nord VPN, but a friend does not use a VPN.
    For this reason she does not want to switch on the camera when we skype. Are we both vulnerable due to this, or she alone?

    • @Nordvpn
      @Nordvpn  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Technically a VPN protects the data on the device you're using it, so we can't help your friend, but your IP address is protected. However, if your friend is not protected and the hacker gets into her computer, yes, they will be able to see you chat. But hey, there's a bonus - you can run NordVPN on 6 devices at the same time, so if it's a close friend and you want to stay protected, you can do that!

    • @Nordvpn
      @Nordvpn  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there!
      Doxxing legality (or illegality) depends on the country internet users live in. However, if you reside in the US, there are federal and state laws that consider doxxing to be illegal, especially when it intentionally damages someone’s reputation or puts them in danger.
      Many EU countries also consider doxxing illegal, especially if the information was private or difficult to obtain and it violated the target’s privacy and security. -J.B.
