    That reminds me of that time when Reddit doxxed the alleged Marathon Bomber, ruined his life, and then it turned out it wasn't him. Aside from all the nicknames, I don't see any evidence. But the article shows how to doxx responsibly.

    Is this group real ? Do they have a page where they display the victims and scenarios? Or this is just another group invented by some people to create some good stories?
