If you were looking to buy your own “Doxagram” domain, you better get after it quickly as it is reported by Graham Cluley that Instagram and Facebook have purchased 280 domains containing “Doxagram.” It seems that all of this is happening to head off hackers that recently exploited a vulnerability in Instagram’s API that allowed hackers to get the email addresses and phone numbers of some of its high profile users. Now the Doxagram hackers are looking to sell the information on the Dark Web, it seems that Facebook and Instagram are looking to flood the web with enough false Doxagram sites to make the information harder to find. That might keep it from the normal websurfer, but come on guys, we know those that really want the information will find it.



Doxagram, which allows anyone to harvest account information for just US $10 a record, originally appeared as a .com domain before getting the boot from its web-hosting company. The service then appeared as a .ws domain before once again going offline. Those responsible for Doxagram suspect Facebook was responsible for these takedowns.
