alt Hacker News> Putting someone on a (most) wanted list is "doxing"?
No, if they just put UNKN on the most wanted list, then it wouldn't be doxing. But then they also tie UNKN together with "Daniil Maksimovich Shchukin", and that's the doxxing, regardless or not if it's on a most wanted list.

Back in the day, being doxed meant having your real name, address, phone number, email, etc. posted online for anyone to do what they would.
This seems to be just issuing an arrest warrant.

Uh, you think they should just put "UNKN" on the wanted list instead of the person they believe is UNKN? That's not very helpful...
I think this is not how wanted lists work, here in Germany at least. Do they work this way where you are living? The goal of wanted lists in Germany is to find the person the police is searching for to put them in front of a court if the prosecution can make a case.
Perhaps this goes back to leftist terrorism in Germany in the 1970s, they would not use the code names of terrorists on the wanted lists but their real names to find them, because this is what they wanted - but I don't know.
