The sensitive data of several Israeli athletes in the Paris Olympic Games was published on Telegram in an alleged doxing attack on Friday.

A hacking group calling itself "Zeus" (likely a nod to the Games' Greek origins) is allegedly responsible, and also purportedly leaked the military status of Israeli athletes on social media a day prior.

I'm pretty sure Israel has compulsory service for nearly all citizens, so serving in the IDF isn't exactly a choice they would have necessarily made willingly. To suggest that they deserve to be doxxed for something they had no say in is absurd.

Big "I was just following orders" energy here.

So they should have refused and taken the punishment? That I'm sure you know what it is, since you seem so well informed.

What did the athlete even do, then?
