Examples of Doxxing includes information like:

- Street addresses and personal contact info

- Government ID numbers (e.g. Social Security, Tax ID)

- Financial account numbers

- Images of handwritten signatures or ID documents

- Confidential records like medical info or login credentials

If such information is published with the intent to intimidate, harass, or cause harm—this is what is meant by doxxing
