I have a friend who at least used to answer calls from unknown numbers "hello, this is [their full name]." When I questioned them about it, they said something like "I don't think my identity is valuable enough to hide anything."

Even back then, when I was far less informed, I was taken aback by that.

His identity wasn't valuable before but it is now .... to someone else but not him

I used to be kind of indifferent to all this stuff a long time ago but I'm not any more. I've had weird stuff happen to my credit card, email, social media accounts that I know my identity, as boring and simple as it might be, is valuable .... it's valuable to me.
