The Easy to Track Username Hall of Shame - Reading warning labels are for chumps.

1. Always clear your browser history before streaming to tens of thousands of people.
Nah, use a fresh VM. There's no reason why he can't afford a PC that can handle livestreaming via VMs that are essentially a fresh install every stream.

Never stream from your daily driver. Flamenco learned this lesson the hard way too.

you don't even have to go that far. just use a browser that allows you to turn off autocomplete suggestions. if you're a somewhat notable public figure like Tom than the loss of convenience will far outweigh the risk of an embarrassing stream mishap/accidental self-dox like the one we see here.
 
Our favorite content creator @NotATurkey recently got doxed by soyteens after he covered one of their memes in a recent video.

More information in here:


Recently, Turkey Tom made a cringe video where he watches a "theme song" for the Incredible Gassy soyjak. This set off the Sharty, where the new owner of the Sharty, Froot, called for Turkey Tom to be doxed.

Soyteens dug around for a while and found a stream where his personal email, containing his real life name, briefly showed up on his browser as an AutoComplete suggestion.

Using this email, soyteens dug around further, eventually finding his Facebook, his real name, and possibly his current address.

Name: Thomas Larry Hanson
Age: 21
Address: 18 Schooner Road, Scarborough, ME, 04074

Note: This is likely his parent's address. It is unknown whether Tom is still living with his parents or if he moved in with his girlfriend in Canada.

There are two lessons here:
1. Always clear your browser history before streaming to tens of thousands of people.
2. Don't use your real life name in your username if your internet persona revolves around edgy content.

Null’s going to some serious lengths to convince people Turkey Tom isn’t just him with a voice changer.

I'm honestly surprised they don't use an alternate user account in their PCs to stream.

I'm willing to bet laziness is the #1 cause of doxxing.

Most people are doxed because they don't bother to fill out the opt-out pages on Spokeo or BeenVerified. You can have yourself taken off virtually every website that sells your personal information for free so long as you fill out a few forms. It's mindlessly easy; we were required to do this for my intro cybersecurity classes. Not even for "points," but simply because it's such a pisseasy way to protect your information that if you can't even handle that then it doesn't even matter if you can pass the rest of the exams.

He'd been uploading videos, sometimes multiple, every day for 3+ weeks which stopped today. He must have taken it hard.
 
I knew it was only a matter of time before Tom got doxxed.
Mind you, he's only been name-doxed so far. He's made comments implying he lives in Canada with his girlfriend and the address sourced is his parents. This makes it far easier to dox him in Canada, but not necessarily easy or even feasible.

Man this is why browsers need a ''Streamer mode'' If one doesn't already have one.

I learnt to spin up a fresh install of chrome or something I don't use personaly for streaming, Not enough people know this though. It literally takes a second in the URL bar for you to be entirely Pwned.

Why not just have a browser installed exclusively for streaming? Or using a browser that clears it self after use, like the Tor Browser or setting a Firefox or Brave profile to clear everything after closing it and using a password manager to login to anything you need before you start streaming?

There are two main ways you can go about this:

1) you install a secondary browser for livestreams which has nothing but stuff that relates to your streams. Null does this for his MATI streams.
2) you set up a browser shortcut that has a special launch flag which makes it use a separate browser profile. You still have one browser, but you have two separate profiles with two separate sets of browsing data, settings, extensions etc

However the second option has the issue of OBS not being able to differentiate between different profiles. To OBS, chrome.exe is chrome.exe, no matter the launch flags or working directories. That is assuming you're also doing the logical thing of showing only your browser and not your entire desktop with all the windows on it.

So the best option would be installing a separate browser for this type of stuff. By the looks of it, Tom is as normie as it gets and uses Google Chrome. Therefore he has many options for a secondary streaming browser. If he still wants Chromium, there's Brave and Vivaldi. Opera if he's fine with the Chinese spying on him. If he's fine with moving to an alternative there's Firefox. Second shortcut, use that for streaming, problem solved.

All of this could've been avoided, but unfortunately Tom is a fluoride brained zoomie zoom zoom that chases e-fame so bad he fails to stop for a second and rethink the way he operates. He started showing his face, he tows this silly line of being an edgy commentator on YouTube but also respecting muh pronouns to not get his YT channel on which he based his entire career on nuked, and he fails to do the most basic precautions when it comes to online streaming to not get doxed and end up with real life issues because of that.

Yet another cautionary tale of why you shouldn't chase Internet fame.

You can do that, you just have to accept that your anonymity is not ever going to be something you can retain and you will always make enemies who will exploit weaknesses you can’t always help. That’s the trade off to making absurd amounts of money in your early 20s these days.

The internet offers fame and easy money... but you will never again have any sort of privacy. You will be brutally cancelled when the video of eight year old you refusing to properly thank your aunt for that awful, daggy Christmas gift she inflicted on you becomes public. People on Reddit (or here) will endlessly speculate what you had for breakfast this morning, and obsessively chronicle your weight change gram by gram. You will have emotional leeches desperate to form a parasocial relationship with you. Your immediate family will have to disown you in self defense. And worst of all...

... it's highly likely that you'll make even less money than you would in a minimum wage part time job.

There's a reason the vast majority of people who have an online 'career' are stupid kids, narcs, and professional actors for marketing firms.
