The sensitive data of several Israeli athletes in the Paris Olympic Games was published on Telegram in an alleged doxing attack on Friday.
A hacking group calling itself “Zeus” (likely a nod to the Games’ Greek origins) is allegedly responsible, and also purportedly leaked the military status of Israeli athletes on social media a day prior.
Yes. They are supporting genocide. And it’s not even “silence is compliance” but they’re literally ‘advertising’ their country during a genocide. And yes I know that the Olympics is an extremely big and important thing for athletes, but that’s exactly why you have the option to compete without representing a nation.
And what do you think doxxing the athletes accomplishes, exactly? What good do you think comes of it? What purpose does it serve?
I haven’t looked at the dox, but if they have apartments/properties outside of Israel, it’ll lead to some good ol’ vandalism. With addresses inside Israel it’s most likely gonna be harassment in the form of letters and packages. Same goes for phone numbers and email addresses.
Essentially, make their lives as uncomfortable as possible. And because they know they’ve been doxed, it’s unlikely to lead to physical violence, because I doubt they’re stupid enough to stay at (now publicly known) addresses outside of Israel.
Exactly!!! If we’re already assuming they served in the military, why do we need any more information than their name? What is the end goal of the dox?
