The internet has made it easier for individuals to find personal information about others. A negative law enforcement interaction, prosecution, or judicial punishment could lead to your address, telephone number, date of birth, family members information, and other personal information becoming weaponized against you through the technique known as doxing.

With a few mouse clicks, attackers are accessing and publishing droves of personal information about their targeted victims or using that information to wreak havoc in the individual's life.
