Hong Kong newspaper staff claim photos leaked on ‘doxxing’ site linked to Chinese travel agency
Staff members of a Hong Kong newspaper have claimed that their headshots posted on a “doxxing” website came from a Chinese travel agency that processes mainland visas.
Local online news outlet Stand News reported on Tuesday that photos and personal data of Apple Daily staffers had been published on a doxxing website recently. The tabloid is owned by pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai, who came under fire for supporting last year’s anti-extradition bill protests.
The website – which has since become inaccessible – contained the personal information of more than 100 Apple Daily employees. It published details including their full name, date of birth, contact number, job title and photo. The website offered HK$1,000 to 5,000 for tip-offs about “toxic journalists.”...
每日一詞 ｜人肉搜索，有中國特色的doxxing
在中國的社交媒體上，除了審查制度，讓人噤聲的還有另一種東西——人肉搜索。這種活動並非由官方組織，而是來自那些自恃愛國的義務警員。他們拉起“伸張正義”的大旗，卻熱衷於“扒皮”這種充滿羞辱和恐嚇的方式。
在時報最近的一篇觀點文章中，來自中國的作者李佳佳談到了“人肉搜索”的危險。她在文中指出，人肉搜索實際上就是“用眾包的形式，把那些本來匿名的人的真實身份揭發和傳播出來——可以稱之為具有中國特色的doxxing（惡意收集個人信息）”。
Doxxing一詞來自於動詞dox，意指“公開指明或發布關於某人的私人信息”，特別是用作一種懲罰或報復的形式。自互聯網問世，doxxing的情況就存在了。它最初是黑客之間的俚語，表示“獲取和發布關於競爭對手或敵人的私密文件”。對那些重視匿名性的黑客來說，這是一種殘酷的打擊。
Doxing (from dox, abbreviation of documents)[1] or doxxing[2][3] is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting private or identifying information (especially personally identifying information) about an individual or organization.
The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. It is closely related to Internet vigilantism and hacktivism.
Doxing may be carried out for various reasons, including to aid law enforcement, business analysis, risk analytics, extortion, coercion, inflicting harm, harassment, online shaming, and vigilante justice.[9][10]
