dokume

Dokume is a Japanese term that translates to "poison document." It refers to a piece of information, often a document or a digital file, that is deliberately designed to harm the recipient or an organization. This harm can manifest in various ways, including financial loss, reputational damage, or operational disruption. Dokume is not a specific type of malware or a technical exploit, but rather a broader concept encompassing the intent and content of malicious information.

The creation and dissemination of dokume often involve deception and manipulation. The information may appear legitimate or beneficial at first glance, enticing the recipient to interact with it in a way that triggers the intended harm. Examples could include fake invoices designed to trick individuals into making payments, fabricated news articles intended to spread misinformation and cause social unrest, or leaked internal documents used for blackmail. The key characteristic of dokume is its malicious intent, aiming to cause damage rather than simply conveying neutral or factual information. The term is often used in contexts related to information warfare, cybercrime, and corporate espionage.
