Protect yourself from online doxxing threats

Doxxing (also spelled doxing) is when someone searches for and publishes private or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet, typically with malicious intent. Following the recent mention of Indivisible by MAGA publications, we've seen an  uptick in doxxing concerns. We've compiled the following resources on safety and security to help protect each other and the work we're planning to do this year. 

Our slide deck on Safety and Security is a resource created as a personal reference or as a presentation that can be used in any meeting or call space. 

Here's a sneak peek of the content mentioned in the Safety and Security Slide Deck: 

• Safety, Security, Rights & Conflict De-escalation Resource - How to think about about safety, and the importance of knowing your rights in a protest context.

• Doxxing Tips resource - Great information on how to stay safe online and protect yourself from doxxing, including the importance of knowing the information that is already publicly available about you online. Also includes these other helpful guides on how to remove yourself from people-finding services and data brokerage companies.

• Digital Communications Security Resource - How to securely handle common digital programs like Google Docs, Zoom, and  other tools that support our digital organizing.
