A recent study by New York University Tandon School of Engineering and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) revealed the types of information that is typically exposed by doxxers:
- 90 percent of the time, the victim’s address is listed
- 61 percent included a phone number
- 53 percent included an email address
- 40 percent shared online user names and IP address
As for sensitive financial information? It’s less common, but it does happen.
- General financial information was included 8.8 percent of the time
- 4.3 percent revealed credit card numbers
- 2.6 included Social Security numbers
