How You Can Get Doxed on Xbox

Описание: How You Can Get Doxed on Xbox. Imagine treating Xbox like a social media platform rather than what it originally, a gaming platform. You’re more likely to experience unwelcoming behavior that usually happens on the social media side of things. But treating Xbox like social media is a disaster waiting to happen because there are weirdos on Xbox (applies to any social media platform for that matter). But Xbox is a gaming platform, not your Instagram account. Don’t treat it like social media.

One of my friends was doxed on Xbox mostly due to her mistake of treating Xbox like social media. She eventually found herself being spammed on Facebook and doxed in a way where all her information was published on Facebook by someone else. Whatever happens outside of Xbox is generally out of my jurisdiction. And Facebook is MEANT to be public so doxing may be tricky on there. But this was a long time coming. Getting doxed was only a matter of time for how she treated Xbox. Xbox is NOT social media. It’s a gaming platform, don’t treat it like Twitter or Instagram.

The friend that was doxed posted her full name on Xbox, along with her location, and linked her social media accounts to her Xbox account. Firstly, filling out your full name is mandatory on Xbox and I have no idea why. If you can hide it, which you SHOULD, WHY is it an option anyway? Oh right, Xbox’s pathetic attempt at social media. Secondly, sharing your location is optional. But it would always be the smartest thing to hide your location. It’s no one else’s business where you are. We’ve seen hackers do it to myself and other people on Xbox. Thirdly, don’t link your socials to Xbox.

I can name ten people that use Xbox for the sole purpose of finding romance and it makes me cringe. Xbox is about gaming. But if you’re going to use Xbox as a social media platform and use it to contact other people in various manners, eventually, someone out there will stalk you on Xbox and possibly dox you or worse.
