Australian Jewish WhatsApp Group Members Doxxed and Harassed After NY Times Reporter Leaked Group Chats
“This was done without the knowledge or approval of the Times.”
Some people in media just can’t hide the fact that they’re hard left activists.
The New York Post reports:
NY Times reporter leaked Jewish WhatsApp group to anti-Israel activists who doxxed and harassed members: report
The New York Times said it took disciplinary action against a reporter who acknowledged leaking data about a WhatsApp group chat for Jewish business people that led to its members being doxxed and harassed by activists sympathetic to Palestinians.
Natasha Frost, a Times reporter who was based in Melbourne, Australia, earlier this year, downloaded and shared 900 pages of content from the private WhatsApp chat that was launched by Jewish professionals in response to the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists that claimed the lives of nearly 1,200 Israelis.
Frost acknowledged to the Wall Street Journal that she shared the information with one individual before it fell into the hands of anti-Zionist activists.
Hundreds of the group chat participants were then shocked to discover that their personal information was circulating online — leading to online and in-person harassment that escalated to the point where some were forced to leave their homes.
A Times spokesperson told the Journal that the newspaper had “reviewed the matter and appropriate action” was taken when it became aware of Frost’s actions.
“It has been brought to our attention that a New York Times reporter inappropriately shared information with the subject of a story to assist the individual in a private matter, a clear violation of our ethics,” a spokeswoman for the newspaper said.
“This was done without the knowledge or approval of the Times.”
Frost told the Journal that she shared the information with one person who then disseminated the details without her permission.
“Its subsequent dissemination and misuse happened entirely without my knowledge or consent,” Frost said. “I was shocked by these events, which put me and many others at terrible risk.”

I am sure that Meta will now ban the leaker from all of its platforms. (Cue hysterical laughter.) oh, wait- that only happens to people who insist there are only two sexes.
And was she fired for her poor decision to ignore the minimalist standards the NYT has? Not likely. More like she got a good talking to via Facetime…
Was she fired? If not, it doesn’t count.
