I got doxxed by a troll on a forum , the troll posted my real full name and school including my grade level , pics of a Facebook account which the troll thinks it’s me but isn’t because I don’t have any mainstream socials. The troll keeps pasting my name and pics from the Facebook profile everywhere on the forum, what do I do ???

    Well, it might be helpful in the current predicament. Going after the perp, without taking care of the vulnerabilities might make them take a real interest and get more data out. So make sure it’s all off the grid.

    Make sure it’s also deleted from the Internet archive. From search engines and so on.

    We got police scammed for a while because my streaming wife’s contact was in some obscure 15-year-old backup of her first website on the internet archive. Before we used a service for that stuff. It had been offline for a decade already, so nobody even thought about it.
