I don't think it's that necessary, but obviously more caution is always better. Everyone seems to be saying that 50% of the population (of the US) is compromised, but I think it's significantly more than that, especially after excluding children. It's literally so much data that the chances of you getting picked are slim-to-none. Plus, if you had a list of the personal information of every credit-worthy person on the planet, why would you steal anyones identity that doesn't have their name on Forbes?

So that you're less likely to get a federal investigation on you, I would assume. Get lots of small-time people over a long period so that you don't pick up too much attention.

Eh, I work a professional job and had to go through a background check and everything because I work with the same data Equifax does, probably more in depth even. No chance they found this profile, and I've never hidden my identity.

It really depends what your end goal is. The process of stealing an identity is not an easy one, and it's not one that can be well automated.
