Abstract
According to Amy Binns at the University of Central Lancashire, she has spoken to people that have had websites set up in their name requesting child pornography, their bank accounts hacked and money stolen from their account, and their employer phoned and told they were alcoholics. Despite many individual cases catching the public eye, up until now there has been very little research examining the scale of the problem and who is involved. A team from the University of Illinois at Chicago and New York University used an AI tool to gather 5500 dox files--documents full of private information intended for dissemination. These came from 2 million candidate files on pastebin, 4chan and 8chan, which are among the most popular file-sharing websites on which they tend to be hosted.
