      A prática do dox não é exatamente um tipo de ataque hacker, mas sim a liberação de informações pessoais que o criminoso obteve durante uma invasão. Quando uma pessoa realiza um dox, ela pode divulgar nome completo, endereço, telefones, documentos, números de cartões de créditos, senhas e muitos outros detalhes sobre a vítima.
