IANAL but isn't that doxxing? That definitely sounds illegal, and I would seriously consider consulting an attorney.

Doxxing isn't a crime. It's a terms of service violation.

I looked into it a bit more (again, IANAL). Doxxing is a crime, but it varies from state to state and intent (so some aspect of malfeasance) seems to be relevant. There's even a proposal to make it a felony in Michigan.
