dox
Publish someone's address
Dox is internet slang meaning to publicly reveal someone's private information—real name, address, phone number, workplace—typically with malicious intent.
The word comes from "docs" (documents).
Doxing is often used as harassment or intimidation: Someone doxed her after she criticized the game online.
The threat of being doxed can silence people from speaking publicly.
