You are an utter imbecile. In case of a breach like with mtgox.
They could make up a fake passport using your details and then blow up a plane using them (well, not using the passport to blow the plane up but to get ON a plane that they then blow up, you know what I mean). I would say that is pretty much about as bad as it can get. Financially, they can create bank accounts, credit cards, buy cars, maybe a house in your name and leave you with all the debt.
Also with your passport info they can
>open account in another exchange and bank and transfer your money through that and used to have access to hundreds of dummy banks accounts.
>In some countries, you can ask for a loan.
>They can reset your passwords if the support is stupid. It was used to reset hotmail/yahoo passwords.
>forge an identical passport minus the photo.

In other countries. Identity theft is real and it can get you in a lot of trouble to prove it was not you. Also could block your bank accounts and get you in expensive lawsuits if the breach happens.
>burgers worry about identity theft on obscure crypto shit
>meanwhile their mailboxes aren't locked
Explain this to me, ameribros. Someone could pick up your bank statement or your gas bill when it comes through snail mail and steal so much of your shit with this information.

They don't require a photo ID if you attach your bank account.
>YOUR BANK ACCOUNT HOLY SHIT IT'S GOING TO GET STOLEN AND YOU'LL LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY
