It is a shortened form of "document" or "dropping docs," used to describe finding and publishing someone's private information online, such as their real name, address, phone number, or workplace, often with malicious intent. People typically use "dox" in discussions about online harassment, revenge, or activism, where revealing someone's identity can lead to real world harm, such as "He got doxxed after that controversial post" or "Threatening to dox someone is against platform rules." The term originated in the 1990s within hacker and online gaming communities, where collecting personal data on rivals was called "dropping docs" before being shortened.
