I'm amazed sometimes at the datasets KFers uses for doxxing. If you care enough, you just need to pay attention to leaks and store them all and you can make a mini NSA X-Keyscore.

During the whole Cloudflare banning thing I remember coming across a dox that deanonymized someone via the Patreon hack dump [1], where a simple Twitter username match turned into a name + address (via credit card details stored by Patreon).

Anonymity and OPSEC requires some serious effort and knowledge.

Serious effort - as in - not reusing usernames and not posting embarassing stuff using your real name?


Yes, telling people to not reuse passwords is enough of an ask.
