Ruby Rose Is The Most Dangerous Celebrity To Search Online
Think twice
before you consider a Google search of an actress named Ruby Rose.
Internet
security company McAfee said Rose is the most dangerous celebrity in 2018,
which means search results generate risky links to potentially malicious
websites.
The
"Orange is the New Black" actress, recently cast in the title role in
the CW series "Batwoman," replaces singer Avril Lavigne as the most
dangerous celebrity to search.
Reality TV
star Kristin Cavallari finished second on McAfee's list, followed by actress
Marion Cotillard.
Kardashians
also ranked high on McAfee's list, with Kourtney at 7, and sister Kim at 19.
Gary Davis,
chief consumer security evangelist at McAfee, said in a statement hackers often
lean on an internet user's curiosity about celebrities to feed links to
malicious websites hoping they will click on them.
"It’s
important for consumers to think before they click to be sure that they are
landing on safe digital content and protecting themselves from cybersecurity
threats that may be used to infect their devices or steal their identity,"
Davis said.
Along with watching what you click, McAfee also advises internet users keep their devices and software up to date with patches and use parental control software to protect kids.
