Social Media Risk Index

Panda software recently released their first annual Social Media Risk Index. They "surveyed 315 US small and medium businesses with up to 1,000 employees. The study revealed that 33 percent of these companies had experienced a malware or virus infection from social networks, with 23 percent citing employee privacy violations resulting in the loss of sensitive data. In addition, thirty-five percent of survey respondents that were infected by malware from social networking sites suffered a financial loss, with more than a third of those companies reporting losses in excess of $5,000. "

A slideshow on the study's results is available.
