Definition of dox
slang : to publicly identify or publish private information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment or revenge
On general principles, I support Internet anonymity and look askance at people's efforts to out or dox anonymous Web commenters whose views they disagree with, much less for simple sport.

This isn't the first time the LAPD has been doxxed. In 2011, a group affiliated with the online hackers Anonymous claimed responsibility for posting personal information of more than 40 officers, including their home addresses, campaign contributions, property records, and names of family members after they claimed the LAPD oppressed them by shutting down the Occupy L.A. Movement.
