Doxxing as an isolated act might not be illegal in all states, but when it's done in connection with another crime like stalking, cyberstalking or harassment, someone could be charged with that crime, according to MalwareBytes, a cybersecurity company.

Doxxing, occasionally spelled as Doxing, indicates the unauthorized disclosure of private details about an individual on the internet. This can include their actual name, place of residence, employment details, contact numbers, financial data, and other intimate particulars.

The word “doxing” (also spelled "doxxing") is derived from the term “dropping dox,” or “documents.” Doxing is a form of cyberbullying that uses sensitive or secret information, statements, or records for the harassment, exposure, financial harm, or other exploitation of targeted individuals.

When you use “Results about you,” you can find out if your personal contact info, like your home address, phone number, or email address shows up in search results.
