Google made the list, but the number one threat may surprise
                               you!

Santa Barbara, CA, Oct. 13, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Taking a page from
David Letterman, a leading online privacy company today released a "Top
Ten" list of threats to privacy that is anything but funny.

From relatively controversial moves from Facebook and the virtually
unknown "wartrucking" tactics of Google, Cocoon posted the Top Ten to
its website today as part of raising awareness about National Internet
Security Awareness Month. As the company managed to aggregate our worst
online privacy fears, its number one threat might surprise you: It's
us.

According to Cocoon's Top Tenlist: "The ten biggest threats to privacy
in 2011 paint a picture of a landscape that is littered with the
potential for warrantless tracking, pervasive monitoring, mobile
stalking, behavioral advertising and data harvesting. The repercussions
of sharing too much personal information on Social networks has led to
a deluge of private data flooding the public domain; where sites such
as Facebook consistently alter privacy settings to share more. The
latest Facebook platform change to create a deeper sense of connection
is secondary - Bottom line: advertising is primary and Facebook gets
its income from ads."

In the mood to face your fears? The entire list is at Cocoon's 2011
List of the Top 10 Internet Privacy Threats.
