What can someone do with your first, middle and last name?

[Victor Von Doom]

I just went onto an old Multiplayer game I played when I was 8 or 9, and saw one of my characters was named my first middle and last name. Should I be worried?

Help? Anyone?

They could do all kinds of things, For instance I think they could find out where you live and your location, They can dox you possibly, Although I wouldn't worry too much.

Doxing is the act of attempting to retrieve a person's information over the internet through tracing them or using certain sites.

You played it when you where 9, if nothing has happened in two years you're probably fine, change the name of that account though

Even if someone knows everything they could possibly want to know about you...
...are they really going to drive possibly thousands of miles to your house when there's plenty of other people/kids between you and them?

I've posted my name, age, gender, phone number, and more on these forums, and I don't think I've ever been raped for it.

They might not want to necessarily track you, I really wouldn't worry too much, Although there is still a chance, Try not to get too afraid over it, If you're worried however i suggest speaking to someone and if you can try to never do that again and try to either rename or remove the character.

Oh please.
Nothing happens unless you specifically give your info to a predator that's intrested in you.
e.g. chats like the ones they show on to catch a predator

No one's going to hurt you based on your name in a game, or even anything you post on the blockland forums.

You should still use caution when using the internet, You don't have to be paranoid and completely be afraid of any information of yours on the internet, However you should still be somewhat careful.
