doxed

Had identity leaked

Doxed means having had one's private information—real name, home address, phone number, workplace—publicly exposed online without consent, typically with malicious intent.

The spelling varies: doxed, doxxed.

The practice weaponizes personal data, often to enable harassment or threats: She was doxed after posting a controversial opinion.

From "docs" (documents).
