You know how you fill in security questions or have a certain knowledge about yourself that other people trust only you to answer to in order to permit you access to your own information online such as accounts?
Well a hacker can use that shit and then you have a long road to convince anyone who ever lost trust in you because of that that you have been hacked.
Also you want to protect the people on your contact list if you want to keep their trust.
You shouldn’t even give your phone number out. That’s linked to accounts.
