Added some more links/news because I was on the mobile before.

If you google "doxxing brian krebs pr0gramm" you will find lots of other news sources, same as for "coinhive trade volume", as it was the platform that made monero/XMR the biggest cryptojacking platform.

I found no doxxing, I read that they organized a fundraiser, donated to cancer research, and even Brian Krebs wrote that “the response from pr0gramm members has been remarkably positive overall.”[1]

If you think that images of brian krebs' face with "Hurensohn" (German for "son of a whore") on it are not doxxing, you must be living in a parallel world.

Not gonna post direct links to this, because of HN guidelines. See the VICE article about it, which still contains some of those images. [1]

What I'm saying is that there was an attempt to doxx Brian Krebs, and the users of the imageboard [2] and Gamb, one of the admins, was turning that shitstorm into a positive thing. [3]
