AG@AGHamilton29Following the 10/7 attack, a large group of Jewish professionals (600+)in Australia joined a WhatsApp group to share their concerns about rising anti-Semitism and the war.In November, a New York Times reporter, Natasha Frost, covertly gained access to the group. She downloaded the private information of those in the group and their chats to write a hit piece published by the New York Times in January. Frost then left the group.Apparently not satisfied, Frost then shared the private data from the group with someone who passed it along to various "anti-zionist" activists and had it posted online. A spreadsheet was created with information on all the Jews in the group.Before long, teachers, business owners, and other private individuals who were in the group started being harassed and threatened. Associated businesses were vandalized. Several people reported having to flee their homes.The New York Times concedes it was an ethical violation and claims they took disciplinary action against Frost, but it is unclear what that entailed. She is still publishing a daily briefing for the Times. https://wsj.com/business/media/how-a-leak-by-a-new-york-times-reporter-led-to-an-anti-doxing-uproar-in-australia-e2a5844e4:57 PM ยท Aug 16, 2024
