The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published an Insights document intended for critical infrastructure on doxing, which it defines as the internet-based practice of gathering an individual’s personally identifiable information (PII) – or an organization’s sensitive information – from open source or compromised material and publishing it online for malicious purposes. This document is intended to bring awareness to the impacts of doxing to critical infrastructure and to share guidance and resources with critical infrastructure owners and operators, security professionals, and the general public. It explains the potential impacts to critical infrastructure; and offers protective and preventative measures, mitigation options, and additional resources for individuals and organizations. Access the document at CISA.
