Earlier this week, the Anonymous Comrade Collective a left-wing Twitter account that is, as its name indicates, anonymous identified Seagraves as the instigator of a much more ambitious, if clumsy project. Files containing names and personal information for thousands of left-wing activists, primarily in Portland, Ore. and Asheville, NC, were published on social media and then circulated on far-right platforms on Nov. 10. The meta data for 1,446 out of 2,141 files pointed back to Seagraves, according Anonymous Comrade Collective.
After some of the data was dribbled out on the /pol/ Politically Incorrect channel on 4chan a notorious forum for white supremacists the boards lit up with messages from anonymous users fantasizing about violence.

Among those targeted by the data dump of personal information commonly known as doxing is Olivia Katbi Smith, co-chair of the Portland chapter of Democratic Socialists of America. Smith filed a lawsuit against Seagraves in Multnomah County for invasion of privacy on Thursday.
Smith said in an email to Raw Story that Seagraves intentionally shared information that he methodically collected on herself, friends, family and other Portland activists in a way to incite emotional and physical harm.
He also used my social media connections to fabricate a chart of antifa that paints me as a high-value target, she added. I have always been public about my involvement in the Democratic Socialists of America, and this person sensationalized that to make me a target. Since this information was posted, it has spread like wildfire across the most dangerous far-right corners of the internet, where anonymous cowards are saying unspeakable things and making horrific threats.

I wonder if he used NC State's computer systems for such activity, while both on his job and off-hours.
While his private activities might be ignored by the school, performing them on-duty might be differently viewed.
