Doxxing is an attempt to extort funds by threatening to post personal and financial information. Here’s a description from UC Berkeley.
”What is Doxxing?
Doxxing refers to the collection of a user’s private information, across multiple platforms (including social media) by an unauthorized individual, who then publishes the information in an attempt to shame or embarrass the user. Doxxing may be conducted by researching public databases, hacking, or through social engineering. The term "doxxing" is derived from the phrase "dropping dox (documents)".
“Doxxing often involves hackers attempting to embarrass or shame individuals by publishing confidential information, images or videos obtained from their personal accounts. Initially, doxxing was used by hackers to "out" the identities of fellow bad actors/hackers. However, more recently, it has been used to attack users with opposing viewpoints.”
The article goes on to talk about how to protect oneself and their personal information etc.
