My name, and the very fact that I exist are vectors for identity theft. But that doesn't mean I should keep those facts secret either, or that simply attempting to keep them secret will have any effect whatsoever.
Would you post your name, address, DOB, and SSN here? They're easily discoverable on the Internet anyway, so why would you try to keep them a secret? (This is a rhetorical question. I'm not asking you to post that info, for obvious reasons.)
It's a vector for identity theft.
Birthdays are one of the absolute worst kept secrets on the Internet. There are entire sites that blab that information to anyone who asks.
