Dear Brendan
The story is nice regarding Facebook and privacy concerns but it is nothing special. There are at least three reasons why I believe I am right:
1) you need to allow Java Script – in turn to have this little code be executed. Naturally, even our 10 year old school kids know they should not – we taught them:

2) If you do the privacy stuff correctly including not providing the accurate city, etc. than you reduce your risk exposure as explained here:
http://blog.casescontact.org/?p=347
3) If you do not have admin rights as a user, no way the program provided by BBC’s “resident coder Pete” will do any harm since it cannot be installed on your machine.
So much ado about nothing and a bit of social engineering. But the latter you can prevent by playing it smart as they taught you in IT security hygiene 101
Nevertheless, thanks for the links you provide, they always give me new ideas or things to think about. Have a nice weekend.
I agree with the first post. Utlize privacy setting to reduce your risk of identity theft.
