doxer
Reveals personal information
A doxer is someone who engages in doxing—researching and publicly releasing private information about a person, typically with malicious intent.
The information might include home addresses, phone numbers, workplace details, or family members' identities.
Doxers often operate to harass, intimidate, or enable others to do so: The doxer posted her home address after she criticized him online.
