Dox -> documents -> publishing personal information, no?
Why does the victim have to be anonymous?
Why does the victim have to be anonymous?
Kind of like how troll now means 'person who is an asshole on the internet' instead of 'post designed to rile up and elicit frivolous responses'. The meaning has changed over time for better or worse.

And didn't the GGers "dox" Randi, Anita, Brianna, etc?
But I'm even more old school because I'd just call it skiptracing instead of doxing....
Essentially, doxing is revealing and releasing records of an individual, which were previously private, to the public.
Where's the "reveal" in this hack? They'll use the hacked info privately or sell it.
Did you read the comments completely? If Randi, Anita, and Brianna weren't anonymous but they were "doxed" it seems to me that "doxing" doesn't have to refer to revealing info of an anonymous person.
