    Some statistics drawn from our State of the Net Survey 2010, released today:

    On Facebook...

    • 56 percent of users posted at least one piece of personal information that could lead to ID theft.
    • 42 percent posted their birth date with year, and 25 percent didn't use or know about Facebook privacy controls.
    • More than 18 million people use apps, and 38 percent thought apps were secure or hadn't thought about it.
    • Meanwhile 1.8 million computers were infected by apps.

    If you missed our panel discussion on the risks of social networking, you can view it here.
