- travoc 5y agoIs identifying a real person by their internet pseudonym really doxxing?
- idealmedtech 5y agoPractically by definition, yes.
- SEJeff 5y agoKrebbs doxxed one of my friends who happens to be a gay hacker in a country where both being gay and being a hacker are illegal. Krebbs doesn’t take kindly to any sort of bad reviews or even the hint that he’s not perfect FYI.
- notsureaboutpg 5y agoKrebs revealed that your friend is gay?
- zamadatix 5y agoHave a link to the story/event?
- SEJeff 5y agoIt was notdan, and he’s quite open about both of the things I mentioned both on Twitter and his blog. He is mentioned in this article.

- SEJeff 5y agoThat’s pretty shitty of him. I’m not saying anyone is a saint, only that krebs doxxes people who disagree with him, which can put their lives in direct harm. I’m not any more of a fan of wee ve than you. Also, fuck Nazis.
- YuriNiyazov 5y agoWeev is blind?
- SEJeff 5y agoNo, I was thinking of him when I read hacker and nazi and was an idiot. That’s wrong but I can’t edit the comment so it stays.
- kurisufag 5y agoweev is not blind, nor was he recently released from prison
- ianhawes 5y agoI was not referring to weev.
- shkkmo 5y agoI don't know anything about the case or the current attitude of the blind neo-Nazi. Depending on the later, it could be very beneficial to see how someone could get sucked into a such mental state. Hearing how such a thing happends might be beneficial for those who are just starting that slide into exremism. Even if the neo-nazi is still dyed in the wool, I certainly don't think that being curious about that person's perspective justifies being doxed.

- mobutu 5y agoServes that faggot right
- gunapologist99 5y agoYes, linking the two (public and private) identities is doxxing, because... it links the two.
- afrcnc 5y agoITWire is not a credible news source. The site, and especially Varghese, often writes tabloid pieces that are just character attacks.
- lelandfe 5y agoI don’t know anything about the outlet but that story looks pretty fine? It links to its sources at least, which is better than most tabloid pieces
- throw10920 5y agoIt doesn't look like you're disputing the specific allegations about doxxing made by ITWire - only mentioning other, unrelated, vague things like "tabloid pieces". There's a Twitter screenshot showing the doxxing - are you claiming that that's fabricated?
- dfcab 5y agoSame happened with Crosstalk in a similar fashion. Commented on a video about a product similar to what he was describing and he removed the comment. It’s all about them and the products they want to sell. Not as open/transparent as one would think.
