Etymology

Doxing or doxxing is a verbal derivative of dox, a modified spelling of docs - an abbreviation of the English word "documents".

The essence

Doxxing involves a hacker (doxer) who analyzes information about a person posted on the Internet in order to identify and then blackmail him.

Therefore, in crypto investments, it is impossible to broadcast high-profile earnings successes and details from the main wallets, especially in public chats and on unverified sites, because a doxer through the blockchain can check the balance, and then, through phishing, find out the ip and reward with a bouquet of sad, expensive experience of losing a deposit.

As a result, when you are sure that you have already seen the bottom in fraudulent schemes... it happens that doxxing suddenly comes knocking from below.
