Facebook Graph Search is being rolled out to Facebook's more than a billion users, which means your photos, status updates and information can be searched in the hopes of better connecting you with the world around you.

In the wake of this most recent feature rollout from the Facebook team, Consumer Reports Internet Privacy and Security Survey and the latest visual from Marketo are reporting that close to 13 million Facebook users have never touched their privacy settings.

Additionally, 11 percent of Facebook users said that someone else has tried to use their login without their permission.
