Could you please clarify for me, is the act of doxxing considered illegal in the realm of cryptocurrency and finance? I'm interested in understanding the legal implications of revealing personal information of individuals without their consent, especially in the context of online transactions and investments. Does the law treat this practice differently depending on the jurisdiction? And if so, what are the potential consequences for those who engage in doxxing?

When doxxing leads to harassment, the targeted individual's privacy and mental well-being are violated. Such behavior undermines the fundamental right to live without fear of intimidation or persecution.

The revelation of personal details can also trigger threats and intimidation, creating a hostile environment for the victim. These actions constitute criminal offenses and should be treated accordingly.

Identity theft, a severe crime, can occur when doxxed information falls into the wrong hands. Fraudsters can exploit this data to impersonate victims and carry out financial scams or other nefarious activities.
