Could you please explain what type of crime doxxing is? I've heard it mentioned in relation to cryptocurrency and finance, but I'm not entirely clear on its legal implications. Is doxxing a form of cyberbullying, identity theft, or something else entirely? And how does it specifically relate to the world of cryptocurrency and finance? I'd appreciate a clear and concise definition of the crime, as well as any potential consequences that could arise from engaging in such behavior.

Authorities have prosecuted individuals for doxxing when the disclosed information was illegally obtained, such as through hacking or unauthorized access.

When personal information is already publicly available and has been legally obtained, sharing it typically does not constitute a crime.

However, doxxing can cross legal boundaries when it involves harassment, stalking, or intimidation.
