The AntiSec hacking group claims to have released a set of more than 1 million Apple Unique Device Identifiers (UDIDs) obtained from breaching the FBI. The group claims to have over 12 million IDs, as well as personal information such as user names, device names, notification tokens, cell phone numbers and addresses.
Check your UDID at this page:

Wait a minute. This is all about outsiders collecting IDs, and you have to give that site your UDID in order to see if someone else has your UDID??? :nuts:

Why did an FBI agent have 12 million UDIDs and all that private info on his laptop?

I only put the first 5 characters in as well. Even if you put in your full UDID, there is no other connection to your name, phone #, etc., so what does it matter if someone has that alone and nothing else?
Years ago, I got a call when I was on another call and the caller ID said "Sammy Hagar" and a phone number. I called it back later and indeed, it was THE Sammy Hagar (I got his voicemail), yet even with his #, I could get nothing else from just his cell #.
