Question Accidentally leaked disk ID. What could happen now?

[TheFlash1300]

Hi. I opened the Linux terminal, typed "sudo fdisk -l", hit enter - then, took a screenshot and sent the image in a chat.

Now, given the fact other people have my Disk Identifier, could they hack me, if they want to? And if yes, what can they do to me?

EDIT: If you want to know what exactly I mean by "Disk Identifier", check the images in the following article: https://blog.purestorage.com/purely...-failover-clusters-disk-signatures-snapshots/

See the code marked in the orange box called GPT, not MBR. Do you see the long code? My code looks very similar.

Isn't it a bit late after the fact to worry about it, I would have asked before hand. As it stands, it doesn't hurt... but its always better to check first.

They have the GUID of your GPT drive

They can't do anything with it
GPT = GUID Partition Table
GUID = Global Unique ID = Every GPT drive on earth has a unique ID

Pretty sure they would need to physically have your drive to do anything to it.

No. That information is useless to anything other than operating system of your PC (and disk/partition management utilities).
If somebody hacks you, then it's not because of GUID, but because of something else.
