identity is exposed

What if my identity is exposed on Steam? My name and address are revealed, whether to many people in general or just a few close to me. Would that make me vulnerable to theft if I have a valuable account? Would I then have to close my account and start over with a new one, hiding my identity? For those with valuable accounts, please advise. Note: It's not just hackers; for example, an account with a level above 2000 could be vulnerable if someone obtains your ID and address. They could then come to you in person, kidnap you, and threaten you to get your account. This is a similar scenario, especially if the area is open to visitors.

Don't leak your email, account name, phone number you should be safe. Not sure how you would of had you address leaked, unless you were the one to do it.

Then you should secure your account(s) and if you feel your own personal safety is at risk because of a user, contact your local authorities. Your identity and other personal details would only ever be exposed because of poor security on your part.

If you're that worried about such things despite having all the security you could ask for in place, then the internet is not for you.

Account security and your online personal safety is YOUR responsibility at all times everywhere on the internet.

Cant help but feel I'm talking to a bot.

Yes, but what if I made a mistake and somehow revealed my identity? For example, if I have a friend who knows my real identity and thinks it's normal to reveal it, and he does, even though I have a good account and live in a bad area, should I close the account or continue?

Your Steam account is the least of your worries.

Then you should tell your friend to delete the comments where he/she shared your details without your consent. If they refuse, then you can take legal action against your "friend" for sharing your details without consent.

"your" account isn't worth anything as it's not even yours and selling an account is against the steam subscriber agreement, valve can lock your account forever and block you from accessing it for that

And if it's too late and my identity is leaked, and I had, for example, a level 3000 account and lived in a less-than-ideal area, would I then close my account and lose what I spent on it? Because if I don't, whether it's me or you, the account might become a target, and that's bad if the identity and address are exposed.

Okay, yes, but if I have a strong account and my identity is revealed, it might make me a target for theft. Would I then have to close it? Do current account holders disclose their place of residence, especially if it's a bad area?

If you had that much money then you wouldn't live in a bad area.

This makes sense I think it's important to hide my identity and not reveal that I'm the account owner, even to people I know in real life, to avoid any potential problems.

Sure. Somebody knows your address, so they'll be traveling to wherever that is, and then... somehow steal your "valuable" video-game items? Really?
