Are you at risk of identity theft or something similar if someone sees something you’ve hand-drawn?
Blake asked:
Okay. Let’s just say that:
You hand-draw something. There are some drawings and some of your print writing (writing in print - not cursive). If you scan that into your computer and display it on the Internet, are you at risk of identity theft or something similar, such as, someone forging your handwriting? What about if someone listens to your voice on the Internet? With all of the technology today, I wasn’t sure. I wanted to share some stuff I’ve drawn and wrote on the Internet. Please help!
Thanks!

No. You sound paranoid.
If you’re worried about someone applying for credit in your name, they need your social security number. I can’t think of an instance in which someone would verify a handwriting sample or a voiceprint for any reason, unless you work for the government.
