So how exactly do people doxx people? I get that you can Google someone's username and find everything associated with it relatively easily, but how the hell are people finding bank account info and SSN's? :psyduck:

That's not generally something advertised by Facebook accounts let alone generally put on the internet.

It wasn't difficult for her at all because she didn't do the coding, 2 separate people did.

I assume because people have been less than judicious about what information they put online which has allowed them to find real names, addresses, telephone numbers and other information which could be used to socially engineer all kinds of information about someone.

I think most of the time people are doxxed its because of their own stupidity. Like when aatrek was "doxxed" everyone was asking why it wasn't discovered earlier since his real name, username and photo were all on some star trek fan site.

In this case it involved hacking but also a lot of stupidity.

It wouldn't surprise me if many of these people end up keeping their passwords, bank account details and SSN's in .txt files in cloud storage like Dropbox so they can keep easy access to it wherever they have WiFi. Not being a hacker, or intelligent, I would imagine that gaining access to a Dropbox is on the easy side if you can guess the email they used to register, and they might even be able to identify ways of getting in through the unique IDs generated in the URLs of a linked image or something.

Launching Rebel Jam? The only thing we know about it is that it's something Zoe said she wants to do and that all funds go to her personal PayPal.

Yup.
Yeah it's probably going to mysteriously launch soon after the Young Capitalists jam does, or talks will begin on what they want to do, and languish in a planning phase forever.

Switch the genders and it'd work. Unfortunately, I think the current story goes against too many expectations to work.

The SJW-types could go for the philosophy. But you'd be asking them to accept a man's story of abuse. And you're saying that an internet-harassed woman is the villain. You might get away with one of those. But both seems like too much.

I'd expect the anti-SJW-types are less rigid about gender roles. But I can't see them going for the broad definition of 'informed consent' that you'd need for the argument.

It's too bad, since I think that would be an interesting piece to read. And the "can consent be contingent on implicit promises?" problem is interesting. Hopefully I'm wrong and someone will write the thing.

Don't forget Zoe trying to screw over 3 charities for own personal gain.

Seems I missed the word projects, so all 3 may have been Young Capitalists. :)

quote:

It turns out that Zoe has shut down at least 3 charity projects accusing them of being anti-feminist because more money going to charity related feminist projects means less money going to her scam.
She contacted a project helping girls who have no computer skills create video games and uses the money from those games to donate to charity. 8% of the money still goes to the girls who came up with the idea as well as royalties. However, according to Zoe Quinn, making chicks work for free for a charity is oppression.
