I've got another anecdote about exposed information. Saw a car's 'Instagram handle' while next to them (was passenger) and got curious. Sure enough, their car's Instagram handle was public-facing and had links to the presumable owner's instagram handle (public facing) and his wife's handle (also public). Within five minutes of horrified clicking, I found both parents' birthdays, occupations (and photos of locations where they worked at) full legal names and birthdays of their parents, sisters, brothers (they had posted birthday celebrations and funeral announcements with names and dates), their wedding date (and all subsequent vacations they took), residence (posted about buying a new house), their children's full legal names and where they went to school (posted dropping them off at school), and the makes and models of all their cars (posted about buying new cars) over the last 5-6 years. It was a little scary to see how open they were.

What potential dangers do you see from getting this information?

That's likely enough to pull off an identity theft on some level.

Extortion, blackmail, stalking, credible threats of kidnapping or robbery due to pattern of life exposure, et c.
