Doxing simply refers to the process of gathering or deducing other people’s information such as name, age, email, address, telephone number, photographs etc.
using publicly available sources such as the Internet. In other words, doxing is the act of using the Internet to search for personal details about a person.
Doxing is done by initially taking a piece of information (such as “name” or “email address”) and keeping it as a base to find out other possible details about the person.
The term “doxing” is derived from the word “document tracing” which means to retrieve documents about a particular person or company in order to learn more about them.
