may have several provisions detailing and highlighting some of the cases. One may find doxers guilty of breaking specific statutes or standing orders especially about the methods used to obtain and disseminate the information. For instance, a doxer may have threatened or blackmailed a venerable member of the family of their intended target . Similarly, the doxer may have sent goons to attack the subject which violates the law. Therefore, these legal provisions should be sought after, explored and exhausted before further actions are taken. Unfortunately, the lack of exact legal guidelines in most jurisdictions makes such civil suits challenging to win or very expensive to sustain. Public outcry may then be employed to force the lawmakers to provide absolute and strict privacy laws and to propose more sombre punitive actions for doxing innocent individuals .

Even so, skilled but wicked hackers may still manage to circumnavigate the efforts and firewalls placed to lock them out. Nonetheless, as aforesaid, doxing doxers is an acceptable countermeasure to reduce the spread of the vice and its consequential effects.

The animals provided food, labor, transportation and other products for use in the family such as wool. Therefore, losing even one of th
