year's list of most dangerous celebrity
to search online by McAfee.
The security software company, which
conducts studies about the topic
annually, had placed 'Harry Potter' star
Emma Watson on the first position in
2012, reported Ace Showbiz.
The study reveals that searching info
about Collins may bring 14.5 per cent
chance of landing on malicious sites
which enable cyber-criminals to steal
passwords as well as private
information.
While the risk is about 12.7 for people
who type Avril Lavigne, who is at
number two position. Typing Sandra
Bullock on the web may bring 10.8 per
cent risk of landing on sites with
malicious content.
"Today's consumers often are
completely unaware of security risks
when searching for celebrity and
entertainment news, images and
videos online, sacrificing safety for
immediacy," said Paula Greve, the
director of web security research at
McAfee.
Female celebrities pose higher risk
compared to male figures with 'Mad
Men' star Jon Hamm as the only male
star who makes it on the top 10.
