Kompromat

Kompromat (Russian компромат, short for компрометирующий материал ) is originally derived from the jargon of the KGB term for compromising material, usually a politician or other public figure. Such material was mostly used to discredit unwelcome people or to force the threat to publish the material people to cooperate.

Meanwhile, the term is generally used for material (eg Adult Videos ) used could harm the publication of a person.
